What is Covered California?<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Covered California\u2122*<\/strong>\u00a0is the California health insurance<\/a> marketplace where individuals and small businesses can shop for health coverage \u2014 online, in person, or by phone. Here they can explore and compare California health plans to find what\u2019s best based on their household income and size.<\/p>\n

Individuals can also learn if they qualify for a low cost or free health package and receive federal financial assistance. These programs are available based on household income level. In addition, they can find out if they qualify for public health assistance, like the state’s Medi-Cal program.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0When you complete an application, your application will be automatically reviewed for Medi-Cal<\/span> eligibility.<\/p>\n

Covered CA is the\u00a0only<\/strong> place where Californians can apply for federal financial assistance to help reduce their healthcare costs.<\/p>\n

At Freeway Insurance, we understand that finding affordable healthcare can be confusing. Our bilingual agents are ready to help you find the right healthcare for you and your family.<\/p>\n
