The annual Health Insurance Open Enrollment for State of Connecticut employees will be held from May 2, 2022, through May 27, 2022. Any changes made during Open Enrollment will be effective July 1, 2022.
No action is required if you wish to remain enrolled in your current coverage; current elections will automatically continue (but under the new plan name listed below).
Please note the following important changes:
- There are several new Anthem medical plan names:
Prior Plan Name | New Plan Name |
State BlueCare Prime Plus POS | Quality First Select Access |
State BlueCare POE Plus | Primary Care Access |
State BlueCare POE | Standard Access |
State BlueCare POS | Expanded Access |
State Preferred POS (current members only) | State Preferred POS (no change) |
Out-of-Area | Out-of-Area (no change) |
- Dependent children can now be covered on dental insurance until the end of the calendar year in which age 26 is reached. Any dependent child who had previously aged off of the coverage can be added back on to the coverage during this open enrollment period. Please note that a copy of the full-length birth certificate will be required.
Additional information is available as follows:
- The Health Navigator tool is available via telephone, web, and online messenger chat; this tool is designed to help anyone on the state plan navigate their health benefits, including finding doctors/facilities, answering questions about benefits, and troubleshooting issues.
- The Office of the State Comptroller will sponsor a series of live virtual events with the insurance vendors during the annual Open Enrollment period; details and recorded presentations are available at https://carecompass.ct.gov/openenrollment/#events (scroll to bottom of page).
During open enrollment, you may change medical and/or dental plans, add or drop coverage for your eligible family members, or enroll if you previously waived coverage. You may also enroll in the Health Enhancement Program (HEP) if you previously waived enrollment.
Employees who wish to make changes during this open enrollment period may enter changes directly in CORE-CT until May 27, 2022. No action is required if you wish to remain enrolled in your current coverage; current elections will automatically continue (but under the new plan name).
If a dependent is being added to insurance, a copy of supporting documentation (i.e., marriage license, long form birth certificate, etc.) is also required. Instructions for entering changes and uploading supporting proof documentation into CORE-CT are available in the Open Enrollment Job Aid.
