Updated: 6:08 AM EST December 16, 2020 Access Health CT (AHCT) has announced an extension for the 2021 Annual Open Enrollment period until January 15, 2021 as a result of the current health crisis. The extension's goal is to provide more time for residents to get covered. If new customers sign up for health insurance plans through Access Health CT from now until January 15, 2021, their coverage will start February 1, 2021. In addition, Access Health CT customers who enrolled in a plan for 2021 now have the option to keep it or find a new plan; however, if they make a plan change during this extension period, the new plan will have a start date of February 1, 2021, and they must pay the January bill (premium) for the original plan.
