Access Health CT Announces Special Enrollment Period For Covered Connecticut Program
Eligible Connecticut residents have until June 30 to enroll
HARTFORD, Conn. (Feb. 15, 2022) — Access Health CT (AHCT) today announced a Special Enrollment Period for the Covered Connecticut Program that provides health insurance at no cost to Connecticut residents who meet eligibility requirements. This Special Enrollment Period runs now through June 30.
Created and funded by the State of Connecticut, the Covered Connecticut Program pays the customer’s portion of the monthly payment (premium) directly to their insurance company. The program also covers the cost-sharing amounts they would typically have to pay with a health insurance plan, such as co-pays, co-insurance, deductibles and maximum out-of-pocket costs.
I've received a copy of Access Health CT's monthly board meeting slideshow, which includes the final 2022 Open Enrollment Period metrics and other demographic data. Here's some of the key points:
OE Enrollment/Eligibility Activity:
Started OE 9 with 107,058 enrollees (Up 8%)
112,634 enrolled into a qualified health plan (Up 7%)
47.5% eligible for APTC (Up 20%), 36.2% eligible for APTC/CSR (Down 6%).
Enrollees ineligible for financial help down 43%
24,773 determined eligible and completed application for Medicaid (Down 27%)
112,634 is the topline number. Last year's final OEP enrollment tally for Connecticut was 104,946 QHP selections, which means they actually ended up 7.3% year over year. FWIW, I think CT's all-time OEP enrollment record was 116,000 back in 2016.
Completed applications/redeterminations processed through the integrated eligibility system: 23,719
I'm not entirely sure what the 17,677 figure refers to, but I've confirmed that it's already included in the larger number.

This is a very minor update, but since there was such a massive enrollment data dump this morning for every state (including Connecticut), I figured I should be as comprehensive as possible.
In this morning's CMS report, the put Connecticut's Qualifed Health Plan (QHP) selection total at 93,060 as of November 27th (75,197 auto-renewals plus 17,863 active renewals/new enrollments).
