New Health Insurance Broker Fees 2018

Broker Fees

Beginning August 8, 2018, brokers in Colorado will be permitted to charge a fee for advising customers on the choice of a health plan if the broker:

• Will not receive a commission on the plan from the health insurance company
• Provides a written disclosure to the customer

Brokers have played an important role in assisting our customers throughout our history and we expect that to continue.

Some points to be aware of:

• The Colorado Division of Insurance will develop rules to implement the new law
• No fee can be charged in connection with an enrollment in Medicaid or CHP+
• Connect for Health Colorado will continue to inform our customers on the full cost of their coverage and we will incorporate this change in future communications
• This change applies to health plans sold in or outside the Connect for Health Colorado Marketplace for brokers who choose to charge a fee

More information on the legislation, including the text of the bill, can be found here.

Pizza has a bad reputation, read on

Pizza has a bad reputation in the health industry because it is considered as the easy snack that we can grab all the time, especially at nights. But let’s be honest for a second; any meal consumed at night is not healthy. Plus, pizza is life, and we are here to prove that it is healthy for us!

According to Health Sciences Institutes in Baltimore, pizzas in Italy are completely different than the ones we make in the United States. Our pizzas have a thinner crust which means less empty calories.

In addition to that, both pizzas have a secret ingredient that helps our bodies fight diseases. Which means, my friend, that it is time to walk around guilt-free after binge eating it all night (maybe a little guilty, though!).
