The Mission of the Office of the Healthcare Advocate is to assist consumers with healthcare issues through the establishment of effective outreach programs and the development of communications related to consumer rights and responsibilities as members of health plans. The office focuses on: assisting consumers to make informed decisions when selecting a health plan; assisting consumers in resolving problems with their health plans, and; identifying and advocating on issues, trends and problems that may require executive, regulatory or legislative intervention.
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 health plans.
OHA will be guided by its principles for policy action when engaging in policy advocacy on behalf of Connecticut's healthcare consumers. Read OHA's Principles for Policy Action: Click here
