HARTFORD, Conn. (September 28, 2020) — Access Health CT (AHCT) today announced a series of upcoming virtual educational sessions, known as “Healthy Chats.” The purpose of these online events is to help Connecticut residents become familiar with the marketplace, and the available tools to get coverage during the Annual Open Enrollment Period that starts on November 1, 2020. Healthy Chats can help Connecticut residents learn about plan options, financial help, low-cost and free coverage and tips to stay covered.
AHCT is Connecticut’s official health insurance marketplace, where you can shop, compare and enroll in quality healthcare plans; and it is the only place where you can qualify for financial help to lower your costs, or be eligible for free or low-cost coverage through HUSKY Health (Medicaid/Children’s Health Insurance Plan or CHIP).
Healthy Chats are free and will be held virtually via Zoom (in English & Spanish) on some Wednesdays & Thursdays in October and November. To join, attendees can access the event here.
