It's not too late to sign up for 2021 health coverage under the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Connecticut is reopening health plan enrollment from February 15 to May 15, 2021.
To get covered, you can go directly to the online health insurance marketplace for Connecticut. If you need personalized help, you can reach out to an enrollment assistant. Most enrollment helpers are working remotely during the COVID crisis.
Where's the Connecticut Health Care Exchange?
You can find the health insurance exchange for Connecticut at Access Health CT. This is where you can learn about the various health insurance options available to you under Obamacare. If you see a plan you like, you'll be guided through the enrollment process online.
Getting Personalized Help with Enrollment
In Connecticut, if you need help understanding your options for coverage under Obamacare or signing up for a plan, you can get free assistance from a certified application counselor or from a licensed health insurance agent or broker.
An application counselor can explain your options, answer your questions, and help you apply for the plan you choose -- but they can't recommend a specific plan for you.
To find a Connecticut certified application counselor or broker, use the Assistance Search Form at Access Health CT. From there you can enter your location to find helpers near you.
Private insurance agents or brokers can also help you understand your health care coverage options under Obamacare. Unlike government-trained assistants, they are allowed to suggest the best plan for you.
Talk to a licensed broker. To directly connect with a Connecticut insurance broker who can help you evaluate insurance plans and choose a plan that's appropriate for your situation, call 800-943-6832. (We receive advertising income from the licensed brokers who offer their services through this telephone number.)
