State Board of Licensed Professional Counselor Examiners - Requesting Written Stakeholder Comments

The Colorado State Board of Licensed Professional Counselor Examiners is proposing revisions to Rule 1.24 - 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 B – 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 to dora_dpo_rulemaking@state.co.us by June 30, 2025, in order for your comments to be considered before the public rulemaking hearing scheduled for Friday, July 18, 2025, at 9:30 A.M. Written comments will be posted on the website under the "Public Notices" tab as received for all stakeholders to access and review.
