The primary bill sponsors, Representatives Lieder and Jackson, introduced Senate Bill 25-196 to the House Health and Human Services Committee. Current law requires health insurance carriers to cover a variety of preventative health services as recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, the Health Resources and Services Administration, and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, with no cost-sharing. In the event that these organizations are repealed or modified, the bill allows the Department of Regulatory Agencies to adopt rules for any of the services that were recommended as of January 2025, and mandate coverage for any services recommended by the Nurse-Physician Advisory Task Force for Colorado Health Care.
