C.R.S. § 10-16-1010

Marketing requirements of cooperatives

Known as the Colorado Health Care Coverage Act

The act spans §§ 10-16-1001 to 10-16-710 (274 sections).

(1) A cooperative shall use appropriate, efficient, and standardized means to notify members and prospective members and their eligible employees of the availability of sponsored health-care coverage from the cooperative. (2) A cooperative shall make available to members and prospective members and their eligible employees marketing materials that accurately summarize the health benefit plans that are offered by its licensed provider networks, licensed individual providers, and other carriers, and rates, costs, and accreditation information relating to those plans. A cooperative shall also summarize the services offered by all other provider networks and individual providers the cooperative offers, the rates for those services, and accreditation information relating to those provider networks. (3) A cooperative may offer nonlicensed provider networks or individual providers only to self-insured members of the cooperative. Nonlicensed provider networks or individual providers may also be offered to members not self-insured if the services offered do not involve transacting insurance business, as defined in section 10-3-903 . The members may choose which health benefit plans shall be offered to eligible employees and may change the selection each year. The employee may be given options with regard to health benefit plans and the type of managed care system under which benefits will be provided.
