Searchable, online database compiles years of public policy victories for physicians to use in disputes with health plans

Physician practices have rights under Colorado law that can be exercised to reduce health plan barriers to care. Those legal protections include but are not limited to: physician profiling, prior authorization and referrals, telehealth, anti-retaliation, narrow networks, timely payment, contracting, and appeals.

To help physicians and practice managers understand what those rights are, CMS staff has compiled countless physician protection statutes into helpful summaries and incorporated this information into a searchable members-only online database.
