Colorado State Board of Psychologist Examiners – Permanent Rulemaking Hearing – August 1, 2025

The purpose of this Permanent Rulemaking Hearing is to allow stakeholders a final opportunity to testify before the Board determines on proposed revisions to Rule 1.23 - 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. Additionally, changes are proposed in Rule 1.12 - OCCUPATIONAL CREDENTIAL PORTABILITY PROGRAM (C.R.S. §§ 12-245-207 and 12-20- 202(3)) and Rule 1.14 – LICENSURE BY EXAMINATION (C.R.S. § 12-245-304). The purpose is to clarify that the jurisprudence examination is required for both licensure and candidate registration applicants.
