What it is
- What changed
- The official HUSKY gateway identifies HUSKY Health as Connecticut Medicaid and CHIP coverage for children and adults, including children, parents, relative caregivers, elders, individuals with disabilities, adults without dependent children, and pregnant women. DSS's healthcare page says HUSKY Health encompasses Medicaid and CHIP, lists HUSKY A, B, C, and D categories, and points members to handbooks, care management, provider information, state plan amendments, waivers, application routes, and benefits overview pages. The benefit overview lists common covered categories such as preventive care, doctor visits, long-term services and supports, home health care, hospice, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, and non-emergency transportation for HUSKY A, C, and D members. HUSKY Health member pages provide handbooks, benefit grids, Quick Guides, program identification on the member ID card, and Member Engagement Services contact routes. DSS's HCBS page lists state-plan and waiver community options, including Community First Choice, CHCPE, Katie Beckett, Money Follows the Person, PCA Waiver, and DDS waivers.
