Financial Trends in the Connecticut HUSKY Health Program - A Foundation for Sustainability; presentation to the Medical Assistance Program Oversight Committee (February 8, 2019; revised February 15, 2019).  Please note: the revised presentation reflects updated enrollment counts for 2012-2015 across all DSS programs, to correct an earlier data integration process error.  As a result, the count of the number of people served increased by 13% for 2012, 10% for 2013, 8% for 2014 and 4% for 2015 (counts for 2016, 2017 and 2018 remain unchanged).  These updated enrollment numbers cause updated per-member/per-month cost data, incorporated in the revised version. Bottom line, however: the downward cost trends remain in effect.  We regret any inconvenience that may have been caused by the initial version of our presentation.

The above dashboards present customer service metrics such as participation in ‘MyAccount’ online and telephone benefit accounts; electronic workflow and case processing; ‘walk-in’ service at field offices; and telephone Client Information Line & Benefits Center activity.  HUSKY A, B and D applicants and customers are primarily served by another telephone center shared by DSS and Access Health CT, the data of which is not included in the above dashboards.  Similarly, HUSKY A, B and D customers may also establish an on-line account via the AccessHealthCT.com website to track application activity.  Both accounts use the same user ID and password.
