New London County, Connecticut: health insurance
What New London County residents should know about Medicare, marketplace plans and Medicaid.
Medicaid is a government program that gives free or low-cost health coverage to people with limited income, such as some adults, children, pregnant women, seniors and people with disabilities. Each state runs its own Medicaid program and decides who qualifies. We are an independent insurance agency, and we cannot enroll you in Medicaid or check your Medicaid.

See which companies have plans leaving across Connecticut: Connecticut Medicare plans ending for 2027 →
A plan can be listed because it was renumbered or replaced, not only because a company is leaving the county. When the same company keeps other plans there, members are usually moved to a replacement plan. Your plan should send you a notice, and Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 to December 7) is when you can compare and switch. “People enrolled” is the number enrolled in that plan today (CMS hides counts of 10 or fewer).

Why your county matters for coverage
In Connecticut, the health plans you can choose depend on where you live. Medicare Advantage and Part D plans are offered by service area, usually county by county, and marketplace premiums and carriers are set by area as well. Living in New London County means the options on this page apply to you, and plans in a neighboring county may differ.
- Medicare: CHOICES (Connecticut's Medicare counseling program) gives free, unbiased counseling at 800-994-9422. Ask which plans serve New London County specifically.

- Medicaid: apply through HUSKY Health (Connecticut Department of Social Services).
Connecticut note: Connecticut layers a state-funded coverage tier, the Covered Connecticut Program, on top of standard marketplace and Medicaid options -- it offers $0-premium coverage for residents whose income falls just above HUSKY Health's limits, a gap most states don't specifically cover.
