2023 Open Enrollment Toolkit

DOWNLOAD THE TOOLKIT

Help spread the word and get people covered!

Having health insurance is key to being able to get health care. Although Connecticut has a low uninsured rate, significant gaps persist, especially for residents of color. Increasing awareness about the options that exist for health coverage in Connecticut can help more people get covered.

Access Health CT, the state’s health insurance marketplace, helps people learn about their options for health insurance. This year, the open enrollment window to sign up for health care coverage is November 1st through January 15th. Financial help and some plans are only available through Access Health CT.

Thanks to changes in public policy, there are several options for financial assistance. People who previously decided to forgo coverage because of cost concerns may benefit from taking a second look.

In addition, some residents may be eligible for the Covered Connecticut program, which offers no-cost coverage, including medical and dental benefits and non-emergency medical transportation.

In this toolkit, you’ll find:

The changes that took place in recent years are complicated, and many people haven’t heard of terms like “the Inflation Reduction Act” or “Covered Connecticut.” We’ve tried to use clear messages about the coverage options that exist and to explain Covered Connecticut. We hope these messages will be useful to share and help get people covered.

For questions or comments about this year’s toolkit, please contact Stephanie Lomangino, communications officer, at: stephaniel@cthealth.org.
