Colorado - Healthcare Support

OmniSalud

A program that provides undocumented Coloradans with a safe way to compare affordable health insurance plans and enroll on a secure online platform.

Thanks to a Colorado law passed in 2021, every company that sells health insurance in the state has to offer plans with a specific set of lower, fixed costs and make them available to everyone – no matter their documentation status. When you apply for health insurance through the OmniSalud program, they will not ask for your immigration status. These are called Colorado Option plans and they are making healthcare more affordable and accessible for all Colorado residents.

To enroll in health insurance through OmniSalud, an individual must:

• Live in Colorado

• Not be eligible for Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid program) or financial help available on Connect for Health Colorado. People who are undocumented fall into this category.

• Have a household income less than 150% of the federal poverty level- that's less than $21,870 per year for an individual, and less than $45,000 per year for a family of four.
