What to know about health insurance in California
California runs its own marketplace, Covered California, which may offer state-funded financial help in addition to federal premium tax credits. Medi-Cal, the state Medicaid program, has been expanded to cover many low-income adults, and California requires residents to have health coverage or pay a state tax penalty. California also has a Medigap birthday rule that lets Medigap enrollees switch to a plan with equal or lesser benefits during an annual window around their birthday without medical underwriting.
California residents buy individual and family plans through Covered California, the state's own marketplace. Open enrollment runs November 1 through January 31. California has expanded Medicaid, so adults with lower incomes may qualify for free or low-cost coverage year-round. A marketplace-certified agent enrolls you in the same plans at the same price and checks your subsidy estimate.
Health Insurance Agents in California: common questions
Are health insurance agents free to use in California?
Yes. Marketplace-certified agents are paid by the insurance carriers, and your premium is the same whether you enroll through an agent, through the marketplace website, or by phone. There is no fee to you.
Where do I buy an individual health plan in California?
California residents enroll through Covered California, the state's own marketplace. Open enrollment runs November 1 through January 31. A licensed agent can enroll you in the same plans at the same price and help you estimate premium tax credits.
Can I get help if I missed open enrollment?
Possibly. Losing other coverage, moving, getting married, having a baby, and certain income changes open a Special Enrollment Period, usually for 60 days. Medicaid and CHIP enrollment is open all year. An agent can tell you quickly whether you qualify.
What does a health insurance agent actually do?
They estimate your subsidy, compare plans by the doctors and prescriptions you use, explain deductibles and out-of-pocket limits in plain English, submit your enrollment, and stay your point of contact when something goes wrong with a claim or a bill.
Do agents also handle small business coverage?
Many do. If you are self-employed or run a small business, an agent can compare an individual marketplace plan against a small-group plan and explain the tax treatment of each.
