Open enrollment for 2020 health insurance plans through Covered California takes place Oct. 15, 2019, through Jan. 1, 2020. You may get coverage outside of that period if you have a qualifying life event, such as marriage, divorce, birth or lost job.

Why do I need health insurance?

On Jan. 1, 2020, Californians are required to have qualifying health insurance coverage throughout the year. Those who do not may face a financial penalty unless they qualify for an exemption. Learn more by visiting the State of California Franchise Tax Board.
