Go-Live Information for Insurers
As of 8:00 a.m. MT, July 20, 2026, the new claims management system, CoComp, is live and available for use by insurers, third-party administrators (TPAs), and self-insured employers. You can click the drop-down sections below to review additional details about registration and claims access during this initial launch.
CoComp Overview
The Division of Workers’ Compensation (DOWC) is upgrading its claims intake and management process. The DOWC is building a new web-based application called CoComp, in partnership with CapTech Consulting. CoComp aims to make managing workers' compensation claims in Colorado easier and clearer. It will offer a simple, transparent platform for all claims-related activities.
Carriers, Third-Party Administrators (TPAs), and self-insured employers will gain limited access to CoComp on July 20, 2026. All other external stakeholders will gain access between late 2027 and early 2028. Information, training, and resources for all other external stakeholders will be shared in the future.
