Enroll through Access Health CT, now through January 15, 2022 

Open enrollment is a time each year when Connecticut residents can shop for, compare, and enroll in health insurance coverage through Access Health CT – the only place you can get financial help to lower your costs or be eligible for low or no-cost insurance, thanks to the State of Connecticut’s HUSKY Health and the new Covered Connecticut Program. 

The open enrollment deadline is January 15, 2022 to enroll in a health insurance plan through Access Health CT and to see if you are eligible for the Covered Connecticut Program.   

Here are three things to know about the Covered Connecticut Program – including how to find out if you are eligible. 

What is the Covered Connecticut Program?  

Created and funded by the State of Connecticut, the Covered Connecticut Program pays your portion of the monthly payment (premium) directly to your insurance company. The cost-sharing amounts you would normally have to pay with a health insurance plan, such as deductibles, co-pays, co-insurance, and maximum out-of-pocket costs are also covered by the program.  

Who is eligible? 

There are four main factors that contribute to your eligibility. First, you must meet income requirements. Next, you must be a parent or caretaker relative with children in the household that are under age 19. If the children are age 18 or older, they must be full-time students in secondary school. Additionally, you must use all the financial help available to you through Access Health CT. And lastly, you must be enrolled in an eligible Silver Level health insurance plan.
