Look for Access Health CT renewal notices in the mail

October 19, 2018

Access Health CT (AHCT) has announced that customers will receive their annual renewal notice in the mail between Oct. 24 and Oct. 27 and that it’s important for people to review the notice carefully to make sure they understand what their next steps are to stay covered with the best option for 2019.

Numerous plan changes have been made for 2019, making it more important for people to read the notice, and shop and compare plans starting on Nov. 1.

According to AHCT, people who receive a notice saying they are eligible to be automatically enrolled for 2019 still have choices and can pick a different plan. Customers could pay more in 2019 for a couple of reasons.

In 2018, they may have chosen a plan that was the lowest one in a metal tier -Bronze, Silver or Gold. In 2019, this plan may no longer be the lowest cost plan in this tier, and as a result, the monthly payment could be higher. Or, if they had changes in their family, where they live, their age or income.

People could also get a notice saying they are not eligible to be automatically enrolled, in which case they need to take action and pick a plan during open enrollment, between November 1 and December 15 in order to have coverage for 2019.
