Colorado Access, a health plan known for its Medicaid offerings, is joining the state’s individual ACA market in 2027, according to a March 18 news release from the Colorado Division of Insurance.
Through its subsidiary, Access Connected Care Partners, the insurer is launching Colorado Access Choice. The plan is designed for individuals transitioning from Medicaid or Child Health Plan Plus. As eligibility changes, redeterminations and federal policies trickle down, the new offering aims to maintain coverage, Colorado Access President and CEO Annie Lee said.
“Our goal is to help reduce those disruptions by offering a trusted, local option that supports continuity of care and connection to community resources,” Ms. Lee said in a statement.
A spokesperson for the Department of Insurance said Colorado Access previously exited the individual market in 2016. At present, seven carriers are expected to be available on the Colorado exchange in 2027. Select Health entered the marketplace in 2024, and Colorado Access is the second locally rooted plan to join, following Denver Health.
