How it Works

To join the Covered Connecticut Program, you must enroll in a silver-level health plan through Access Health CT and use 100% of the advanced Premium Tax Credit (APTC) available to you.

Once you enroll, the state pays for your covered costs. These include:

  • The plan premium, which is the monthly amount you would pay after your tax credit.

  • The amounts you pay for covered services when you use the plan, like copays and deductibles.

  • Dental benefits and Non-Emergency Medical Transportation benefits offered by the Connecticut Department of Social Services.
