Access Health CT has extended the final deadline to enroll in a health or dental plan for 2026 to Saturday, January 31. Customers who enroll or renew now will have coverage starting February 1.

Recent federal changes mean the amount of financial help available and who is eligible has changed. However, Connecticut has stepped up which means that financial assistance is still available for most residents.

Some customers might qualify for new state subsidies or other low- or no-cost coverage options, including HUSKY Health, Connecticut’s Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

Residents can visit AccessHealthCT.com and click the “Get Help” button on the homepage to find the option that works best for them, including scheduling an appointment or finding a nearby Navigator site. 

Assistance is available online, in person and over the phone.
