Health Insurance
How to Choose Sharp Through Covered California
Health insurance coverage is now more affordable through Covered California.
In 2021, Congress passed the American Rescue Plan (ARP), which provides additional federal financial assistance to people buying health insurance on Covered California.
You may now qualify for help paying for health insurance — even if you didn't before. Plans are available for as little as $1 per month, depending on income.
Sharp welcomes select insurance plans purchased on Covered California, including Sharp Health Plan, so you can find affordable coverage and get the extraordinary level of care we call The Sharp Experience.
Find out if you qualify.
