A dollar bill and coins, representing a monthly premium.

Premiums

You pay a monthly fee, known as a premium, to maintain your Colorado Health Insurance coverage. This fee varies based on the plan, your age, and location.

Network

Health insurance plans typically have a network of preferred healthcare providers, including doctors, hospitals, and specialists. Staying within this network is required for claims to be paid.

Preventive Care

Most Colorado Health Insurance plans cover preventive services, such as vaccinations, screenings, and annual check-ups, often at no additional cost to you.

By spreading the risk and cost of healthcare among many people, health insurance helps protect individuals from the financial burden of unexpected medical expenses while ensuring they have access to necessary medical care.

Deductible

This is the amount you must pay out-of-pocket for covered healthcare services before your Colorado Health Insurance starts to pay. For example, if your deductible is $1,000, you pay the first $1,000 of medical expenses.

Copays and Coinsurance

Copayments (copays) are fixed amounts you pay for specific services, like $25 for a doctor’s visit. Equally important, Coinsurance is a percentage of the cost you pay for services, such as 20% of the cost of a specialist visit.

Out-of-Pocket Maximum

This is the most you will have to pay in a year for covered services (deductible + copays + coinsurance). Once you reach this limit, the insurance company pays 100% of covered costs for the rest of the year.

Claims

When you receive medical care, the healthcare provider submits a claim to your Colorado Health Insurance company. The insurer then pays the provider according to the terms of your plan, and you are billed for any remaining amount, such as your copay or coinsurance.
