Enrollment for Covered Connecticut, a new health program from the State of Connecticut that offers free healthcare coverage to eligible families will open by July 1, 2022. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield is proud to offer a participating plan as part of the program.

Families that qualify could access Anthem’s Silver PPO Standard Pathway health plan, tools, and programs at no cost.
