C.R.S. § 25.5-3-503

(1) Beginning September 1, 2022, if a patient is screened pursuant to section 25.5-3-502 and is determined to be a qualified patient, a health-care facility and a licensed health-care professional shall, for emergency and other non-CICP health-care services: (a) Limit the amounts charged to not more than the discounted rate established in state department rule pursuant to section 25.5-3-505 (2)(j); (b) Collect amounts charged, not including amounts owed by third-party payers, in monthly installments such that the patient is not paying more than four percent of the patient’s monthly household income on a bill from a health-care facility and not paying more than two percent of the patient’s monthly household income on a bill from each licensed health-care professional; and (c) After a cumulative thirty-six months of payments, consider the patient’s bill paid in full and permanently cease any and all collection activities on any balance that remains unpaid. (2) A health-care facility shall not: (a) Deny discounted care on the basis that the patient has not applied for any public benefits program; or (b) Adopt or maintain any policies that result in the denial of admission or treatment of a patient because the patient lacks health insurance coverage, may qualify for discounted care, requires extended or long-term treatment, or has an unpaid medical bill.
