Extra Savings FAQs

How much financial help will I get?

Most people who enroll with Covered California will save money on their monthly payments due to new federal money being available. If you’re uninsured or purchased your plan directly through a health insurance company, you can check how much you might save by using our calculator or by completing an application.

What if I have health insurance through COBRA?

Covered California considers losing your government or employer subsidy for COBRA coverage a major life change. This means you can apply for insurance and have it begin on the first of the following month. Learn more about how special enrollment works.

What if I purchased a plan from a health insurance company directly, not through Covered California?

You could save hundreds of dollars per month if you switch to a plan through us. If you are enrolled with an insurance company that offers insurance through Covered California, you can stay with that same company and even select a plan that is identical to the one you have now. And, money you’ve already spent on your deductible could be carried over to your new plan.
