What is the Broker Academy Program?
The AHCT Broker Academy Program is a free training program for people in communities who need more resources about healthcare. It prepares them to become licensed health insurance brokers in Connecticut. Brokers help people understand their health and dental coverage options and sign up for coverage that’s right for them.
Why Become a Health Insurance Broker?
Health insurance can be confusing, and many people need help. That’s where brokers come in! As a broker, you will help people in your community:
- Find affordable health and dental coverage.
- Understand the different type of coverage options and how they work.
