HUSKY A (Medicaid) is Connecticut's public health coverage program, providing free health insurance to eligible individuals. In 2007, HUSKY A was a managed care program for medical and dental services. In 2010 and 2011, HUSKY A was a managed care program for medical services and an administered fee-for-service program for dental services. In 2012, both medical and dental services in HUSKY A were administered fee-for- service programs of the Department of Social Services. Continuously enrolled children were enrolled for the entire calendar year, from January 1 to December 31. The well-child service provides children with a comprehensive medical screening. Data describe claims submitted by providers for HUSKY A continuously enrolled participants who had well-child care, by age group.
