HUSKY Covered Services and Managed Care Networks in Connecticut: ASOs, Providers, and Benefits (2026)

HUSKY Health covers a comprehensive set of medical, dental, behavioral health, vision, hearing, prescription drug, and transportation services for more than 1 million Connecticut residents. Unlike most state Medicaid programs that use capitated Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), Connecticut moved to an Administrative Services Organization (ASO) model in 2012, using Community Health Network of Connecticut (CHNCT) for medical services, Carelon Behavioral Health for behavioral health, CTDHP/BeneCare for dental, and Veyo for non-emergency medical transportation. The ASO model means HUSKY enrollees do not choose between competing MCOs — any HUSKY-enrolled provider in Connecticut accepts every HUSKY enrollee. This guide explains exactly what HUSKY covers in 2026 for each service category, how to find a provider in each network, the prior authorization rules that govern access to higher-cost services, and the appeal rights when coverage is denied.
