It’s important to have all the information you need to make a confident decision about your continued health care and access to coverage. As you transition out of Medi-Cal, it might be important to you to keep your current doctor or hospital. If your provider doesn’t accept the plan we’ve selected for you, you may have options.
Here's how you can research health plans that are available to you and accepted by your doctor or hospital of choice.
Use the Shop and Compare Tool to search for health plans that are accepted by your doctor or hospital. A green check mark will tell you which plans they accept. To see your personalized prices in Shop and Compare, sign in or create an account.
Your doctor or hospital can tell you if they take the Covered California plan you are considering.
Each health insurance company has a searchable list of the doctors and hospitals in its network.
Covered California’s certified enrollers offer free, confidential help. You can find an insurance agent, search for a local storefront or get a call back with Help on Demand. Check our Support Center to learn more.
Once you’ve reviewed your search results, here’s what you can do.
If the plan we identified for you is the plan you’d like to continue with, sign in, view your Dashboard and Opt In to keep your new plan.
If you’d like to change plans, select another plan by signing in, viewing your dashboard, and follow the prompts to select a different plan.
If you do not want to keep your coverage, sign in, view your Dashboard and Opt Out to cancel your plan.
If you have any doubts before you cancel, please contact us.
