New London — A team of Access Health CT staff, enrollment specialists, certified application counselors and brokers will be on hand Saturday to provide free in-person assistance to help consumers shop for health care coverage.

The New London Access Health CT Enrollment Fair will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the New London Opportunities Industrialization Center, 106 Truman St.

Open Enrollment for coverage beginning Jan. 1, 2018, will end on Dec. 22. Customers who don’t have coverage through AHCT can shop for a new plan, and those who do are encouraged to explore and compare 2018 plan options to renew. People need to update their application information, and compare the plans for 2018 to find the best fit for their health care needs.

If you are unable to attend the enrollment fair, you can find free in-person help at one of AHCT’s 10 enrollment locations, including one at Thames Valley Council for Community Action in Norwich, or at the other two enrollment fairs. Those enrollment fairs take place on Dec. 9 in Hamden, and on Dec. 16 in Willimantic.

More information online at Learn.AccessHealthCT.com or by phone at 1 (855) 805-4325.

To enroll, consumers must provide the following information: Birthdates; social security numbers, visa, green cards or immigration documents; most recent tax returns; recent paychecks or profit and loss statement, if self-employed; information about your current employer and current health care coverage information.
