Colorado Division of Insurance Adopts Flood Emergency Rules on
Nov. 13, Opening a Special Enrollment Period Through Feb. 15, 2027
The Colorado Division of Insurance announced on Nov. 13 the adoption
of two emergency regulations, 26-E-05 and 26-E-06, both effective
immediately, setting temporary health insurance arrangements for
residents affected by the 2026 Colorado floods.
Under 26-E-05, a special enrollment period runs from Nov. 13, 2026, to
Feb. 15, 2027, during which people impacted by the floods may enroll
in plan-year 2026 and 2027 individual health insurance plans.
Regulation 26-E-06 requires carriers to give flood-impacted covered
persons access to durable medical equipment and prescription drug
refills without prior authorization.
Both regulations were issued by the Colorado Division of Insurance and
apply to flood-affected residents in the state and to insurers
operating there.
