Dates and Deadlines
Apply for Coverage
COVID-19 has made it clear how important it is to have a health plan, so we’re keeping our doors open for people who need it.
Medi-Cal and Covered California use the same application. After you enter your information, you will find out whether you qualify for Medi-Cal or Covered California.
Pay Your Bill
After you pick a plan, select the Pay Now button to make your first payment. You’ll receive a membership ID card from your health insurance company after it receives this payment.
If you decide not to pay online, you’ll get a bill from your health insurance company about two weeks after it receives your application.
Deadline for Coverage Starting the Next Month
For most qualifying life events, your coverage will start on the first day of the following month after you select a plan.
