The state of Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) - Division of Insurance (DOI) procured the assistance of Public Consulting Group, Inc. (PCG) to gather information on the provider networks used by health insurance plans sold in the state, to evaluate the adequacy of these networks in providing reasonable and sufficient access to covered services for plan members, and to assess recent trends in provider networks. This report follows and complements recent changes to the health insurance landscape in the state, including development of a State-Based Exchange (Connect for Health Colorado) and implementation of federal health insurance standards, such as mandatory inclusion of Essential Community Providers (ECPs) in plan networks.
