Expanding health coverage options for Connecticut businesses
At Access Health CT (AHCT), our mission is to decrease the rate of the uninsured, improve the quality of healthcare and reduce health disparities. As part of that important work, we are announcing a different way for business owners to offer health coverage to their employees, as well as reduce costs and provide more flexibility in selecting a plan.
BusinessPlus is a new platform to help brokers and employers administer Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements, also known as ICHRA. This is a type of health benefit where employers can provide employees with pretax dollars to help cover health insurance premiums and qualified medical expenses. With ICHRA, employees can shop, compare and enroll in one of the 22 Qualified Health Plan (QHP) options offered through AHCT.
As small business owners continue to innovate to meet their customers’ needs, they also need an innovative solution to keep their businesses and employees competitive and healthy.
Now we can offer a solution that best fits everyone — and our new platform makes it simple.
