Access Health CT Open Enrollment

You can enroll right now for health insurance through Access Health CT (AHCT). Anyone who lives in Connecticut can shop and compare health insurance plans or renew their coverage. Customers may also enroll in dental insurance through AHCT. Open enrollment ends on January 15, 2025. 

When you enroll affects when your coverage starts. If customers enroll on or before December 15, coverage will start January 1, 2025. If they enroll between December 16 and January 15, 2025, coverage will start February 1, 2025.

AHCT is the only place Connecticut residents can get financial help to pay for their health insurance. Nearly 90% of AHCT customers enrolled in a Qualified Health Plan (QHP) receive assistance. Some customers might also qualify for the Covered CT Program. This program provides no cost insurance for eligible residents.

Free help to sign up is available online, in person, and over the phone. For a list of enrollment fairs and to register, visit the Enrollment Events webpage on the AHCT website. Information about enrollment locations and Navigator locations are also listed. Customers can also get help from a certified broker or enrollment specialist in their community.

Go to AccessHealthCT.com and click "Get Help" or call 1-855-805-4325. Help is available in more than 100 languages. Customers who are deaf or hearing impaired may use TTY at 1-855-789-2428 or call a relay operator. People can also chat live with a customer service representative by clicking the “Live Chat” icon on the website.

Rockville Students Win National Prize
Rockville students made the most of the exciting opportunity to attend the National Future Farmers of America (FFA) Convention in Indianapolis. The Rockville FFA visited a rodeo, career expo, and workshops during their stay.
The students also showcased their skills and made us proud after the poultry evaluation team took home the bronze at the convention. This achievement highlights the hard work and commitment of our students and the agricultural education program.
 
Emergency Burn Ban Remains in Effect

An emergency burn ban remains in effect across all Connecticut State Parks, Forests, and Wildlife Management areas. Outdoor burning is not allowed, and crews in Vernon will enforce the ban, which means you cannot use:

  • outdoor grills
  • firepits
  • campfires
  • jack-o-lanterns with flames

Please dispose of smoking materials responsibly.
