Public Notices

Colorado State Office of Naturopathic Doctor Registration - Requesting Written Stakeholder Comments

What is this about?

The Colorado State Office of Naturopathic Doctor Registration is proposing revisions to Rule 1.17 – CONCERNING HEALTH CARE PROVIDER DISCLOSURES TO CONSUMERS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF RECEIVING EMERGENCY OR NONEMERGENCY SERVICES FROM AN OUT-OF-NETWORK PROVIDER and APPENDIX C – YOUR RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS AGAINST SURPRISE MEDICAL BILLS. The purpose of the proposed rules is to establish requirements for health-care providers to disclose to covered persons who are utilizing a health benefit plan about the potential of “balance billing” when receiving 1) post-stabilization services or 2) covered non-emergency services from an out-of-network provider at an in-network facility. Please submit written comments by September 26, 2025 in order for your comments to be considered before the public rulemaking hearing scheduled for Friday, October 15, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. Written comments will be posted on the website under the "Public Notices" tab as received for all stakeholders to access and review. 

Legislative Updates

The Division of Professions and Occupations regulates more than 550,000 licensees, certificate holders and registrants. Each year, the General Assembly passes legislation directly impacting those populations. Many bills then require rulemaking or other policy updates by the Division or Boards in order to implement these changes. All relevant bills from the most recent legislative session have been combined onto a single webpage for easy access here. We encourage all licensees to read all bills directly impacting their profession(s). You may access the individual bills and summaries by visiting the link below:
