1. Rates are standardized for Covered Ca plans so these are the best
rates available with full tax credit based on your submitted information.
2. As Certified Covered California agents, there is no cost for our
service. We can help you throughout the year with your account and coverage.
3. There is no obligation with online app submittal. Simply do not pay
first month's premium to cancel the policy never effective. The first payment
activates the policy.
By signing, you agree to the following:
1. To file a federal income tax return on or before the due date for the return (including extensions of time for filling) to claim the Advanced Premium Tax Credit (APTC), if applicable.
2. To report changes to Covered California that affect my
eligibility, including: income, household size and address. These changes could
affect the plans and APTC for which I am eligible.
3. I cannot switch plans outside of the Open Enrollment Period unless I have a qualifying life event. Some of the qualifying life events are a permanent move that results in access to new plans, birth or adoption of a child, marriage or domestic partnership.
1. I understand that every participating health plan has its own rules for resolving disputes or claims, including, but not limited to, any claim asserted by me, my enrolled dependents, heirs, or authorized representatives against a health plan, any contracted health care providers, administrators, or other associated parties, about the membership in the health plan, the coverage for, or the delivery of, services or items, medical or hospital malpractice (a claim that medical services were unnecessary or unauthorized or were improperly, negligently, or incompetently rendered), or premises liability.
2. I understand that, if I select a health plan that requires binding arbitration to resolve disputes, I accept, and agree to, the use of binding arbitration to resolve disputes or claims (except for Small Claims Court cases and claims that cannot be subject to binding arbitration under governing law) and give up my right to a jury trial and cannot have the dispute decided in court, except as applicable law provides for judicial review of arbitration proceedings.
3. I understand that the full arbitration provision for each participating health plan, if they have one, is in the health plan's coverage document, which is available online at CoveredCA.com for my review, or I can call Covered California for more information.
1. Covered California checks other agencies' computer records to verify
citizenship, satisfactory immigration status, tax information, and other
information related only to eligibility to see if you and other people on this

2. Covered Ca partners with Experian for identity verification. Experian
will use information from other agencies to help check your identity. This

3. The 4 identity verification questions will be emailed to you securely
or a representative will call to complete this step.
