How do I start the process

 

We just need the completed health insurance application for your plan of choice. The online applications process much more quickly and it can all be completed online. The first month's premium is required to process the application but you have a 10 day free look window to cancel for a full refund. Physicals and request for medical records are very rare these days.

How long to get a decision back

 

Due to our volume of applications with the major carriers, we have expedited processing. After the online application is submitted (including payment information), the carrier will usually contact the applicant directly for a phone interview in 3-5 business days. From that point, we usually get a decision in 3-5 business days. All told, most applications process in about two weeks. You can find more underwriting info here. 

Is there an application fee

 

There is no fee to apply for ACA compliant plans including Covered Ca. Only the initial month's premium is submitted with the application.

Is a physical required

A physical is not required...only the completed application and first months premium.

How can I speed up the process

The fastest approach is to enroll via our secured form.  This generally takes 5-10 minutes and we can make sure you're getting the full tax credit available. 

Do I have a long term contract

 

No. The policy can be cancelled or renewed (by payment) month to month.        

What are the options for payment

 

There are a few options for payment with either carrier.
Billing - Shield monthly, quarterly Blue Cross bi-monthly, quarterly
Checking account auto-deduction monthly deduction.

What if I want to change my plan later

 

We can change plans during Open Enrollment at the end of each year or for Special Enrollment periods.  We can help with this process.
