Axis in Cooperation with Rep. Swalwell host Covered CA Event

Confused about how to enroll in a Covered California health insurance plan? Get your questions answered by a certified enrollment counselor on Saturday, December 7, between 10 am and 1 pm, at the Covered California Open Enrollment Event hosted by Axis Community Health, in cooperation with Congressman Eric Swalwell. The event will be at Axis’s health center located at 5925 W. Las Positas Blvd., Pleasanton, 94588.

“Health insurance can be confusing,” says Paula Barriga, Community Relations Manager for Axis Community Health. “An enrollment counselor can help with the process. Consumers who miss the open enrollment window may not have another opportunity to enroll. Plus, you must have coverage in 2020 or potentially face a state tax penalty.”

The enrollment period ends January 31, 2020. However, you must enroll by December 15 for coverage starting January 1. Plans purchased during the current open enrollment period will be honored through the end of 2020.

Covered CA offers plans from private insurance companies for U.S. citizens and documented immigrants. Applicants cannot be denied coverage due to preexisting conditions, and eligible applicants can receive financial assistance to help cover the cost of plans and services. For individuals, an income of $74,940 or less qualifies; for a family of four, an income of $154,500 or less qualifies. To enroll, in a Covered California medical plan visit www.CoveredCA.com. To have your questions answered and get help with enrolling, come to the Covered CA Enrollment Event at Axis on December 7.
