Shopping for Colorado Health Insurance: Tips to Follow
A smart consumer is a protected consumer. Before signing on the
dotted line, make a checklist of these items to ensure your
protection:
Get Recommendations—If you have special needs or
preexisting conditions, make sure you contact a doctor or support
organization for health insurance recommendations.
Ask Questions—after reading through the policy,
direct any and all questions to your Colorado health insurance
agent. A good agent will be more than happy to make sure you
understand your policy.
Know What the Policy Covers—be sure to review
the "exclusions and limitations" section of your policy. Knowing
what your policy covers will help avoid surprises during a physician
or hospital visit.
Look into the Future—ask your Colorado health
insurance agent how your rates will increase as you age, and how
often the insurer can increase rates.
Identify Your Coverage Area—if you are looking
for a managed-care plan, check the provider's directory to make sure
there are suitable doctors, hospitals and other health care
facilities in your area.
Put Them to the Test—call the insurer's customer
service number to see how quickly you are able to get help.
Rights and Privileges of Colorado Health Insurance
As a consumer, you have certain rights pertaining to Colorado
health insurance under state law. You should be aware of your rights
and privileges to avoid any unpleasant surprises when you put your
Colorado health insurance to work.
Regardless of the type of health insurance coverage you hold, you
have a right to:
- Insurance coverage for state-mandated benefits
- Know what your health insurance plan does and does not
cover
- Contact your insurer to complain or appeal any decisions
with which you disagree
- Receive a standard form outlining health insurance
benefits for comparison between companies and health plans
- A written explanation of why an insurance company denies
your health insurance application, or excludes a health
condition from insurance coverage
- Coverage of emergency room care, if you believe you are
facing a life- or limb-threatening injury (even if it turns
out you were not)
- Prompt payment of claims
What to Do If You Are Denied Health Insurance Coverage
If you have been denied Colorado health insurance due to
pre-existing medical conditions, you may qualify for the Colorado
Uninsurable Health Insurance Plan (CUHIP).
CUHIP is a state-run program, offering Colorado health insurance
to those previously deemed "uninsurable". However, due to the high
risk levels of CUHIP patients, CUHIP subscribers pay about 30
percent more for Colorado health insurance than those insured
through the normal market. It is for this reason that CUHIP should
be considered a last resort.
If you are uninsurable due to a pre-existing health condition,
you may contact the CUHIP administrator at (800) 672-8477 for more
information.
