DENVER— Connect for Health Colorado, Colorado’s official health insurance marketplace, is requesting applications from new and returning organizations to operate Assistance Sites, Certified Application Counselor locations, Enrollment Centers, and Referral Partner locations across the state.
“Our partners provide a crucial one-on-one service to help Coloradans get covered,” said Connect for Health Colorado’s Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Patterson. “They help us make sure local communities, especially those who face barriers in getting health coverage, can access the plans and savings we offer. I encourage interested organizations and current partners to apply.”
Partnership Opportunities
- Assistance Sites and Certified Application Counselor locations provide staff to support their communities with education, health insurance literacy, and the enrollment process. They are certified to assist with enrollment on Connect for Health Colorado’s Marketplace and Colorado Connect as well as Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid program) and the Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) program.
- Enrollment Centers across the state also offer health coverage education and enrollment assistance from a local storefront and can receive matching funds for marketing. These locations will also have the ability to help people on a walk-in basis.
- Referral Partners are organizations that can help educate their communities about available health coverage options, applicable financial help programs, and provide referrals for health coverage enrollment.
