Bill Summary

CONCERNING HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR PRENATAL VISITS WITHOUT COST SHARING.

AI Summary

This bill requires health benefit plans in Colorado that provide maternity coverage to offer coverage for up to three prenatal care office visits without any cost sharing (meaning patients would not have to pay copayments, deductibles, or coinsurance) for plans issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2027. The bill specifically excludes standardized health benefit plans from this requirement. The legislation will take effect on January 1, 2027, but is subject to a potential referendum petition process, which means if a petition is filed within 90 days after the general assembly's final adjournment, the act would need to be approved by voters in the November 2026 general election to take effect. The bill aims to reduce financial barriers for pregnant individuals seeking prenatal care by eliminating out-of-pocket expenses for a limited number of initial prenatal visits, potentially improving access to early and consistent pregnancy healthcare.
