Open enrollment for Access Health CT kicks off Sunday and runs through Jan. 31, 2016. Registration can be done online, in-person in New Britain or New Haven or via telephone.
“Access Health CT wants to make the enrollment process as easy as possible for our customers,” said Jim Wadleigh, CEO of Access Health CT. “Connecticut has a strong marketplace and our team is ready to make the buying experience a smooth one. Ultimately, this is about better access to healthcare and a stronger Connecticut.”
Customers who enroll in qualified coverage will avoid federal tax penalties and must have filed their 2014 federal tax returns to be eligible for possible tax subsidies. Residents will need the following materials to purchase a health insurance plan through Access Health CT:
- Birthdates for all family members who need coverage.
- Social Security Numbers for all family members who need coverage
- Citizenship or immigration status and certificate of naturalization or immigration document number, if applicable.
- Tax returns for previous years – only needed if you did not file a tax return or if the system cannot validate the Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) you entered in your application.
- Employer and income information for every member of your household who needs coverage (for example, an Employer’s Identification Number, pay stubs and W-2 wages and tax statements).
- Health care coverage information (policy numbers for any current health insurance plans covering members of your household, as well as information about employer sponsored health plans for which you or anyone in your household may be eligible).
