Definitions of Medicaid Insurance in Connecticut

Medicaid in Connecticut*

"Medicaid, also known as Title XIX, can pay for health care for low income Connecticut residents who are: receiving State Supplement benefits; disabled or legally blind; 65 years old or more; a child under 21 years of age; the caretaker relative of a child under age 19; or pregnant. "

Medicaid for Low-Income Adults*

"Connecticut is the first state to receive federal approval to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (national health care reform legislation). This new Medicaid coverage is replacing the State-Administered General Assistance (SAGA) medical program. Medicaid for Low-Income Adults (MLIA) is open to Connecticut residents aged 19 through 64, who do not receive federal Supplemental Security Income or Medicare and who are not pregnant."

What is Medicaid for children in Connecticut?

What is Connecticut HUSKY?

"HUSKY is Connecticut’s health insurance plan for children and families. The HUSKY Program provides health insurance coverage for over 345,000 children and parents. HUSKY A is Connecticut’s Medicaid program for low-income families. HUSKY B is Connecticut’s State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) for uninsured children in families with incomes over the limit for HUSKY A... HUSKY covers 1 in 4 Connecticut children"
source: Connecticut Voices for Children, New Haven CT 06510

What is CHIP?

"Originally created in 1997, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is a state and federal partnership that provides low-cost health insurance coverage for children in families who earn too much income to qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford to purchase private health insurance coverage. States have considerable flexibility to establish income eligibility rules for CHIP, but children enrolling in the program must be otherwise uninsured."

Connecticut Medicaid Waiver Programs

Medicaid Community Waivers in Connecticut

"Medicaid waivers are a way for states to serve additional medically needy people living in the community who otherwise would not qualify for the regular Medicaid program because of income or other factors. When the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services approves a waiver, states can (1) set somewhat higher income limits for these groups, (2) limit the number of people who can qualify (“waiver slots”), and (3) make other adjustments to regular Medicaid rules. Waivers receive initial approval for three years and then the Department of Social Services (DSS), which administers the state’s Medicaid program, must apply to CMS for renewal every five years. States can also ask for amendments to their waivers at any time, which Connecticut has done.

Connecticut has seven Medicaid waivers in effect (2005). The first six are home and community-based services (HCBS) 1915 (c) waivers and the HUSKY A waiver is a 1915(b) general managed care and selective contracting waiver. "
