Colorado Code
Part 2 - Sickness and Accident Insurance
§ 10-16-212. Exemption From Attachment and Execution

So much of any benefits under all policies of sickness and accident insurance as does not exceed two hundred dollars for each month during any period of disability covered by such policy shall not be liable to attachment, trustee process, or other process, or to be seized, taken, appropriated, or applied by any legal or equitable process or by operation of law, either before or after payment of such benefits, to pay any debt or liabilities of the person insured under such policy. This exemption shall not apply where an action is brought to recover for necessaries contracted for during such period and the writ or complaint contains a statement to that effect. When a policy provides for a lump sum payment because of a dismemberment or other loss insured, such payment shall be exempt from execution by the insured's creditors.
