Access Health CT, the state’s new insurance marketplace, has opened a call center to answer questions about health care coverage under the federal Affordable Care Act (often referred to as Obamacare), the Connecticut Mirror reports. The toll-free call center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. It can be reached at 1-855-805-4325.
Beginning October 1, 2013, people will be able to enroll in health plans through Access Health CT. The plans take effect on January 1, 2014.
The call center is operated by Maximus, a Virginia company, and staffed by representatives in Hartford and New York City. The representatives have had training on the available health plans and the federal tax subsidies available to many to help lower the premium costs.
