36 HARTFORDBUSINESS.COM | July 4, 2022 SPONSORED CONTENT Our healthcare system is home to best-in-class hospitals and major players in the insurance industry. This is great news, but we s ll have work to do for our system to thrive. Importantly, we must ensure each and every person in Connec cut can access affordable, high-quality healthcare with coverage that meets their unique needs. The good news is that now more people across our state might be eligible for free healthcare coverage through a new program, and I wanted to share this informa on with my peers to help reach communi es that may benefit. My name is Lou Gianquinto, and I am president of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Connec cut. At Anthem, we are commi ed to simplifying healthcare. That's why, I'm excited to spread the word that we are offering a par cipa ng plan in Covered Connec cut, a new health program that offers free coverage to eligible families. For people that qualify, the State of Connec cut will pay their part of the monthly premium for a health plan. They will also pay all cost-sharing amounts (deduc bles, copays, coinsurance, and maximum out-of-pocket costs). Anthem is proud to offer a plan as part of this program. The Anthem plan is the Silver PPO Standard Pathway health plan, which offers access to a large network of doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare professionals, as well as benefits such as access to virtual primary care through our Sydney SM Health app. The enrollment period opened as of July 1, 2022, and this year, the Covered Connec cut program will include expanded benefits such as dental coverage and rides to the doctor at no cost. People who are interested can find out if they are eligible for free coverage through Covered Connec cut by visi ng accesshealthct.com, contac ng a broker for free, or calling Access Health CT at 855-805-4325, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. We are looking forward to serving those that choose the Anthem Silver plan. In good health, Lou Gianquinto, President, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Connecticut Dear Connecticut Business Community,
