What is Access Health CT?
AHCT (also known as the Connecticut Health Insurance Exchange) was created by the Connecticut Legislature in 2011 established to satisfy the requirements of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. AHCT is the marketplace that offers individuals, families, and small employers a range of affordable, qualified, health plans from brand-name carriers in Connecticut as well as access to many HUSKY Health programs, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and the Coverage Connecticut Program. Open enrollment begins on November 1st of each year.

Open Enrollment Period for 2025 health and dental insurance coverage begins November 1, 2024. This is the time individuals can shop, compare, and enroll in or renew a Qualified Health Plan (QHP) and/or Stand-Alone Dental Plan (SADP). Whether renewing coverage or looking at insurance options for the first time, Access Health CT is here to help individuals understand how to enroll and what to expect during Open Enrollment.
Individuals may also qualify for coverage through Access Health CT (AHCT) at any time if they have a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) through a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). The Special Enrollment Period is a time outside of the Annual Open Enrollment Period when individuals can sign up for health insurance coverage through Access Health CT (AHCT).
