Covered California

We’re continuing our Hispanic Heritage Month celebration by honoring the home remedies and care traditions many grew up with. ❤️ As we grow, we navigate healthcare in new ways—we learn that caring for ourselves can include prevention, trusted guidance, and medical support when needed. What we are taught at home will always be part of how we care for ourselves and our families. When we need extra support, seeking medical care can be another way to protect that care. With Open Enrollment coming up, Covered California is here to help you understand your options and prepare for the care you and your family may need. #HispanicHeritageMonth #SaludQueSeHereda #CoveredCalifornia

Health plans can be complicated. We help you break down the differences so you can focus on what matters most: the care you deserve, with free preventive services no matter which tier you choose. Get ready for Open Enrollment check our Shop and Compare tool.

Emergency departments should not become the default destination for health issues that could have been prevented or managed earlier, though we know this is already the case.   In my latest op-ed, I explore a troubling trend: as more Californians enroll in Marketplace plans with higher out-of-pocket costs, preventive care is declining even though many preventive services are available for free.    This matters. Fewer primary care visits and screenings leads to later diagnoses, worsening chronic conditions, and more people arriving at already-overwhelmed emergency departments, sicker, and where the care is more expensive.   Healthcare leaders, insurers, and policymakers must make coverage easier to understand and use, with a focus on ensuring people use the care they're entitled to, regardless of the type of insurance plan they have.    Read the full piece: https://lnkd.in/gD3GwnbS   #Healthcare #PreventiveCare #Healthequity The OpEd Project & Covered California

Renewal is your yearly opportunity to keep your health coverage, update your information, and shop for the plan that best fits your needs for next year. Even if nothing has changed, log in to review your account and watch for important notices and deadlines. While you may be automatically renewed if you don't take action, it's still a good idea to make sure your plan and financial help are still right for you.

Getting health insurance may cost less than you think with financial help through Covered California. Read the full article here to learn more about health insurance for 2027:

A Bronze plan can be a smart option if you want quality health coverage with a lower monthly premium. Bronze plans cover essential health benefits, including doctor visits, hospital care, preventive services, and prescriptions. While you may pay more out of pocket when you need care, your monthly premium is often lower than other plan levels. It’s a good fit for people who want dependable coverage and protection from major medical costs while keeping monthly payments more affordable. Learn more at CoveredCA.com

Vaccines are part of your health plan’s preventive care benefits. Talk with your doctor to see if RSV protection may be right for you or your family. Covered California members can get recommended vaccines at no extra cost.
