Our FAQ
If you miss Open Enrollment, you may still qualify for coverage through Medi-Cal or a Special Enrollment Period due to a life event. Contact us and we can help you determine your eligibility and explore short-term or alternative coverage options in the meantime.
If the cost of health insurance feels out of reach, you may qualify for financial help through Covered California. Subsidies can significantly lower your monthly premium based on your household income and family size.

We can assist you in updating your coverage to include them.
