What Is The Application Process?

The application process is very straightforward. We accept applications every year during the open enrollment period between November 1st and January 31st. You can also enroll in a health insurance exchange plan outside of that period if you qualify for Special Enrollment or applying for Medi-Cal. When you submit your application, you are initially reviewed to see if you qualify for financial assistance through Medi-Cal.

When will your insurance coverage begin?

Open Enrollment Period: If you enroll during the Open Enrollment Period, which typically occurs between November and January each year, your coverage will generally begin on January 1st of the following year.
Special Enrollment Period: If you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, such as experiencing a life event like getting married, having a baby, or losing other health coverage, your coverage can begin either on the first day of the month following your enrollment or on the date of the qualifying life event.
Medi-Cal: If you qualify for Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program, there is no specific enrollment period, and coverage can begin immediately or retroactively, depending on your eligibility.

How To Include Members Of Your Household

If you’re buying a health insurance plan to cover your family members, it’s important to understand who can be included in your coverage. Here are some simple guidelines to follow:

  1. If you’re legally married, you can cover your spouse and any tax dependents, such as children or other relatives, that you will claim on your taxes.
  2. Even if your spouse or dependents already have coverage, it’s still a good idea to include them in your health insurance application. This can help ensure that everyone in your family has access to the best possible benefits.
  3. If you have any questions about who to include on your health insurance application, a Covered California agent can provide you with all the information you need.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your entire household is covered by your health insurance plan, and that you’re getting the most out of your benefits.
