Connecticut Health Coverage Open Enrollment Underway: About 80% of Customers Get Financial Help, Enroll by December 15 for January 1 Coverage
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont and Insurance Commissioner Joshua Hershman reminded residents on November 5 that open enrollment through Access Health CT, the state's official health coverage marketplace, began on October 23 and runs through January 15, 2027. Residents who enroll by December 15, 2026 will have coverage starting January 1, 2027; those who enroll between December 16 and January 15 will be covered from February 1, 2027.
The state says about 80 percent of Access Health CT customers receive some form of financial assistance. Alongside the federal advance premium tax credit, Connecticut's own Temporary Premium Assistance program continues in 2027, helping lower-income households reduce their monthly premiums.
Incentives under the CHOICE program and individual coverage arrangements for small businesses are also being promoted. In another change, early childhood educators participating in a state program will receive a premium subsidy of $1,000 to $1,200 per year starting in 2027.
Residents who need help enrolling can call Access Health CT at 1-855-805-4325, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; the TTY line is 1-855-789-2428.
