Covered California

The Covered California program helps many California residents buy low-cost insurance coverage from top-quality health plans. Covered California is part of the Affordable Care Act.

With Covered California, you may qualify for a discount on private insurance or get health insurance through the state’s Medi-Cal or County Medical Service Program (CMSP) program. Visit the Covered California website for more information.
