BLUE RIBBON HEALTH PLANS

Connecticut law requires that health insurance companies in Connecticut offer "blue ribbon" health insurance policies to small employers and to self-employed individuals. (A "small employer" is a business with 50 or fewer employees.) Self-employed individuals must have at least 3 consecutive months of doing business in Connecticut and work a minimum of 30 hours per week to be eligible to purchase a "blue ribbon" plan.

For a list of Blue Ribbon Company carriers, call the State of Connecticut Department of Insurance or go to the agency webpage "Small Employer Plans".
