POSITION: Colorado Option Program Assistant (Program Assistant I)

ORGANIZATION: The Colorado Division of Insurance (DOI) 

The Colorado Division of Insurance (DOI) regulates the insurance industry in Colorado. DOI helps consumers by answering their questions, investigating their complaints, and helping them to understand their insurance. DOI regulates and monitors the insurance companies in Colorado, as well as insurance agents, making sure everyone is following the law.

The Colorado Option Program work unit supports the implementation of HB21-1232 that established the Colorado Option which is an innovative model for health insurance that promotes competition and health equity by combining several key components: standardized benefits plans; a premium reduction target requirement; regulatory and programmatic mechanisms as a backstop to ensure providers, hospitals, and health insurance companies meet those targets; and state subsidies to lower out-of-pocket costs for individuals and families enrolling in coverage through the state’s exchange – as well as for those not currently eligible for federal subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). DOI has new and existing programmatic and regulatory authorities to support the premium reduction targets as a backstop if health insurance companies and providers do not reach the established targets, which includes requiring changes to filed plans and provider contracts, levying fines on hospitals, and requiring additional public hearings.

This work unit is critical in establishing and facilitating a fair and transparent process for consumers, health insurance companies, and providers.

This position coordinates, supports, and manages all logistics related to the policy and operational implementation for the Colorado Option Program created through HB21-1232, which requires the division to implement a standardized health benefit plan with a culturally responsive provider network and required premium rate reductions to create more affordable and better-quality health insurance options for consumers.

Duties include, but are not limited to:

• Supporting the establishment and maintenance of regulatory processes that require Colorado’s healthcare industry to offer more affordable health insurance options;
• Supporting the Colorado Option director in implementing and executing new regulations and a public hearing process by studying existing regulations and processes in Colorado and other states, and consulting with national experts and local stakeholders;
• Executing all public hearing logistics including scheduling, communicating/providing notices, filing management, and coordinating the final hearing decisions from the Commissioner of Insurance;
• Maintaining the hearing process and procedures to ensure that hearings are executed according to state regulations and best practices on a yearly basis;
• Providing communication, including verbal and in writing, distributing hearing notices, compiling the hearing record, and managing correspondence between stakeholders;
• Creating and maintaining the file management system for the hearings, which includes notices, collected evidence, testimony, and any other pertinent document associated with the hearings;
• Managing the collection and storage of testimonies and written documents at the hearings;
• Posting public notice of each hearing on the Colorado Option website, and identifying other channels to inform the public of the hearing dates and how to participate in those hearings;
