Years after abandoning Connecticut’s small group insurance market, Bloomfield-based Cigna is preparing to launch a new health plan in the state targeted at employers with 50 or fewer workers.
Cigna is seeking regulatory approval from the Connecticut Insurance Department to begin offering a new small group plan in partnership with New York-based Oscar, an insurance-technology company that launched in 2012 to originally target the individual insurance market.
The two have joined forces to offer a new fully-insured health plan called “Cigna + Oscar.” The insurance product is relatively new, officially debuting nationally last year in just a few markets.

States reopen insurance enrollment; both NH and Vt. have special sign-up period because of pandemic
Modified: 2/22/2021 8:04:32 PM
WEST LEBANON People without health insurance can enroll in plans through the Affordable Care Act now through mid-May.
Both Vermont and New Hampshire opened “special enrollment” periods last week, allowing those without health insurance to sign up for health plans through either Vermont Health Connect in Vermont or healthcare.gov in New Hampshire.
The states did so in accordance with a Jan. 28 executive order by President Joe Biden requiring that the exchanges reopen to allow people who have lost their job-based health plans during the COVID-19 pandemic to enroll. The exchanges allow those who qualify to receive premium and cost-sharing assistance.
