About one-third of Husky A insured who are no longer eligible have found new insurance coverage, according to a report from Access Health CT.
Access Health CT (AHCT) CEO Jim Wadleigh provided an update Thursday on enrollment of approximately 13,811 parents and caregivers who will lose their Transitional Medical Assistance (TMA) on July 31t when they no longer meet the HUSKY A eligibility requirements due to a change in legislation last year.
As of July 21, 2016, 4,380 individuals have enrolled in a new healthcare plan via the exchange. Of those 2,855 have been re-determined eligible for coverage in a HUSKY program through the integrated eligibility system with the Department of Social Services, and 1,525 have enrolled in a Qualified Health Plan (QHP) with AHCT.
Wadleigh said AHCT is conducting enrollment fairs in Hartford, Bridgeport, and New Haven between now and July 31. AHCT will also make direct calls to eligible residents, make call center representatives available on Saturdays, and reach out via the media and social media channels to ensure that everyone who wants to enroll in a new plan has the information and assistance they need to avoid a gap in coverage.
More information about the change is available online.
