The renewal process
You should receive information in the mail about your renewal in October. This letter explains what you need to do and if you’re eligible to renew your coverage automatically. It will also explain what to do if you need to take any action to renew your coverage. For example, you may need to make updates to your application such as updating your household income or mailing address.
Automatic Renewal
If your household information has stayed the same, you may be eligible for automatic renewal. Eligible customers will receive another letter in November. This letter will confirm that your automatic renewal for 2025 has been processed. It will also include details of your health and/or dental policy and premium(s) for the coming year. The amount you need to pay each month may change, so be sure to review all the information provided so you can pay your premium(s) and keep your coverage.
What if I’m not eligible for automatic renewal?
If your household information has changed, or there isn’t a plan option similar to your current coverage, you may not be eligible for automatic renewal. You will need to take action to keep your health and/or dental coverage. Don’t worry, Access Health CT will send a letter to you in November with instructions about renewing your coverage.
