Need Help With Medical Insurance? West Hartford Event Can Help

WEST HARTFORD, CT — Enrolling in health insurance can be a daunting task and one event in West Hartford later this week aims to make that situation less anxiety-inducing.

Access Health CT, the state’s health insurance marketplace, announced recently that enrollment fairs will be held in December to assist Connecticut residents with the process of comparing and enrolling in coverage plans.

In West Hartford, an enrollment fair has been scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 14, at the Noah Webster Library, 20 S. Main St.

Free, in-person assistance will be available from 5 to 8 p.m. and specialists will be able to help residents shop, compare and enroll in health insurance programs.

Open enrollment began Nov. 1 and will continue through Jan. 15, 2023, but those who require coverage beginning Jan. 1, 2023 must enroll by Dec. 15.

Coverage for those who enroll later will not begin until Feb. 1, 2023.

AHCT also maintains year-round Navigator partner locations where expert help from enrollment specialists is available.

A list of those locations can be found on the Enrollment Events webpage.

Residents can also obtain assistance only through a “live chat” option on AccessHealthCT.com. Live chat is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6:45 p.m.

Residents may also obtain assistance by contacting the call center at 1-855-805-4325, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on select Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
