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.

Best Homeowners Insurance California 2026: Carrier Comparison, FAIR Plan, Hazard Insurance, and the Complete Statewide Buying Guide
California has 13.5 million housing units and a homeowners insurance market that bears almost no resemblance to the rest of the United States. Proposition 103 prior-approval rate regulation, the December 2023 Sustainable Insurance Strategy, the SB 824 non-renewal moratorium, the California FAIR Plan, the California Earthquake Authority, the National Flood Insurance Program, the Chapter 7A home-hardening requirements, the PRC § 4291 defensible-space mandate, and the Insurance Code §§ 2051–2071 statutory coverage protections together create a regulatory environment in which the right answer for one home is wrong for the home next door. This statewide buying guide explains how to actually buy homeowners insurance in California in 2026 — what each policy form covers, which carriers are writing which ZIPs, how to set Coverage A correctly, how to wrap a FAIR Plan placement with a DIC, how to handle earthquake and flood as separate placements, and how to remarket every renewal to capture admitted-market openings as carriers re-enter under their Sustainable Insurance Strategy commitments.
