We’ve got you covered.
If you still need health coverage for 2021, enrollment is open due to COVID-19.
The new special-enrollment period allows uninsured individuals to sign up for coverage without needing to meet the normal qualifying life events through May 15 and have their coverage begin on the first of the following month. We can help you find the best plan for your needs and budget. We’ll also see if you qualify for financial assistance. Call 2-1-1 or schedule a phone appointment below to get started!
When Can I Apply for Covered CA?
Anyone can apply during Open Enrollment, which takes place from October 15th through January 15th each year. There may also be other Open Enrollment periods announced by Covered CA.
If you miss Open Enrollment, you can still apply for Covered CA if you have a Qualifying Life Event (QLE). Examples of QLE’s are:
- Loss of health coverage (increased income resulting in losing eligibility for Medi-Cal)
- Changes in household (getting married, having a baby)
- Changes in residence (moving to California from out of state)
- Becoming a U.S. Citizen
