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are repealed or modified, the bill allows the Department of Regulatory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.
