The Department of Social Services (DSS) has identified an issue with member eligibility for a new program that went into effect July 1, 2022 called Covered CT. The eligibility response for some Covered CT members in the Automated Eligibility Verification System (AEVS) and/or Automated Voice Response System (AVRS) may not correctly respond with active Covered CT eligibility. Instead, the response could incorrectly indicate a member is not eligible.
Covered CT Program (CCT) is administered by the Department of Social Services. People who qualify and enroll in Covered CT will be eligible to receive their dental benefits through the Connecticut Dental Health Partnership (CTDHP) beginning July 1, 2022.

CTDHP has initiated the Provider Survey Process! We have put an abridged version of our provider survey on the website. Please take a few moments to complete it after you log in. It will help us in making referrals for HUSKY Health members. Thank you.
This toolkit was created by the UCSF California Technical Assistance Center (COHTAC) in partnership with San Joaquin County Public Health Services Smoking & Tobacco Outreach and Prevention Program (STOPP) and Local Oral Health Program, and the California Department of Public Health, Office of Oral Health.
