Senate Bill 08-217 Program Panel.
Senate Bill 08-217, also known as Centennial Care Choices, was passed, in response to recommendations by the Colorado Blue Ribbon Commission on Health Care Reform, to create a basic health insurance product that can fit the needs of Colorado's uninsured citizens. The legislation directs the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, in coordination with the Department of Regulatory Agencies – Division of Insurance, to issue a Request for Information asking commercial health plans to design “value benefit plans” (VBPs) that are more affordable and offer a more limited benefit package than comprehensive medical insurance.
Governor Ritter appointed members to a program panel that will assist the Department and Division of Insurance in reviewing the information submitted by the commercial health plans. For more information, check the SB217 website.
