Renewing your Coverage

Access Health CT consumers enrolled in health and/or dental plans must renew their coverage during the annual Open Enrollment Period, starting November 1. HUSKY Health enrollees' eligibility to renew their coverage is redetermined on the basis of original enrollment dates, and redetermination may fall outside of the Open Enrollment Period. 

Access Health CT encourages all customers to shop and compare plans this year. If you are already enrolled through Access Health CT, you may need to take action to renew your health and/or dental plan and see all the financial help available to you. Make sure to report any changes to your information since you enrolled, like your household size, income and tax filing status.

Important

If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, you must report the change(s) to us immediately: 

  • Have you changed jobs this year?
  • Has your household income changed since you enrolled?
  • Has your home and/or mailing address changed since you enrolled?

Tips for a Smooth Renewal

  • Make sure you know what you need to do to complete your renewal, and when. 
    • Don't let the deadline catch you by surprise; make sure you renew your health and/or dental coverage by December 15 to avoid a lapse in coverage. (Remember: The deadline to enroll for January 1 coverage is December 15; if you enroll between December 16 and January 15 your plan will start February 1.)
  • If you have preferred doctors, healthcare providers or prescription drugs, check that they are included in your 2026 plan. 
    • You can enter a doctor's name or ZIP code when you apply through Access Health CT, as well as any prescription drugs you want to be sure are covered. When comparing health plans, you will be able to see which plans include your preferred doctors and prescription drugs.  
  • Schedule time with your Certified Broker who can help recommend a health and/or dental plan for you, for free. 
    • You can search for a Broker in your area who speaks your language or come to one of our Enrollment Fairs where Brokers will be available to advise you. Already have a Broker? To get their contact information, sign in on the Access Health CT website and click "Manage My Assistance."
