The Office of the Healthcare Advocate is dedicated to serving Connecticut's health insurance consumers by resolving conflicts with their insurance plans. We take a multifaceted approach:  direct consumer advocacy with insurance companies and education, interagency coordination, and a voice in the legislative process. We are a free service of the state of Connecticut.

We hope that the information provided on our site will empower Connecticut consumers to become effective self-advocates through a better understanding of their rights and responsibilities under traditional and managed care health plans.
