Husky Health

Connecticut Health Insurance for Children

HUSKY stands for (Healthcare for Uninsured Kids and Youth).

HUSKY Health was signed into law in 1997 and is funded by the state and federal governments, and administered by the Department of Social Services.

HUSKY Plan is designed to help all Connecticut children (under age 18) who don’t have access to private health insurance. It includes services under Medicaid (now known as HUSKY Part A). It also provides brand-new health services for children in higher-income families (called HUSKY Part B).

HUSKY Health gives a lift to Connecticut’s working families who don’t have, and can't afford, health insurance coverage for children through their employer. With HUSKY, your children  are covered. Even families with higher incomes can get most HUSKY services at a group rate.  HUSKY Health means quality health care for every child in Connecticut.
