I Need to Buy Health Insurance
If you are currently uninsured or need to purchase insurance on your own, let us help you get started.
Where can I buy health insurance?
You can purchase insurance for you and your family either through Covered California or directly from private health insurance companies, including Sharp Health Plan.
Covered California is the marketplace where Californians can get health insurance premium assistance under the federal Affordable Care Act.
Covered California offers financial subsidies to individuals and families who qualify. If you qualify, you can use the subsidy to offset the cost of a plan offered by private insurance companies.
When can I buy health insurance?
You may purchase insurance during open enrollment periods or when you experience a qualifying life event (i.e., marriage, divorce, birth, lost job, etc.).
You may need to purchase coverage if you are turning 26 and are no longer eligible as a dependent on a parent's insurance plan.
Which insurance plans does Sharp accept?
At Sharp HealthCare, we accept almost all health insurance plans.
