Growing percent of AccessHealth CT members are not using their coverage

A new survey by AccessHealth CT found that 36% of their customers had not used their health coverage, compared to 26% last year. One in four (28%) don’t have a primary care provider. Enrollment in qualified health plans is now 96, 966, down 13,129 from the open enrollment period earlier this year. The biggest reason people left the exchange was cost – the coverage was too expensive/unaffordable. 7% dropped it because they didn’t use it. The survey found that 51% of enrollees this year were previously uninsured.
