Your Child's New Best Friend in Health Care

On October 29, 1997, Governor John G. Rowland signed historic legislation supported by every member of the General Assembly. With the HUSKY law, Connecticut made a strong commitment to the health of our young people.

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

There’s also HUSKY Plus--a new coverage option for children who have intensive physical needs.

HUSKY members can receive mental health and substance abuse  services by contacting the Connecticut Behavioral Health Partnership toll free at 1-877-552-8247; TTY/TDD 1-866-218-0525. They also have a website at www.ctbhp.com .

HUSKY gives a special boost to Connecticut’s working families. Many parents don’t have health coverage for children through work. With HUSKY, your children  are covered. Even families with high incomes can get most HUSKY services at a group rate.

Simply put, HUSKY means quality health care for every child in Connecticut.

HUSKY is funded by the state and federal governments, and administered by the Department of Social Services.

Our Frequently Asked Questions page and an article in the newsletter "All Children Considered,"  give a good overview of the HUSKY Plan.
