We'll guide you through the maze of health plan choices to find the best insurance coverage for your needs. We'll identify potential problems and navigate your application through the process.

If you've had group coverage

If you've had employer group coverage for at least 18 months and are now purchasing individual health insurance, federal and state laws provide key protections.

You are normally eligible to continue your employer sponsored plan through federal COBRA or Cal-COBRA. If you are medically ineligible for an individual health plan when COBRA expires, you are guaranteed acceptance on a HIPAA plan. Read our newsletter on Losing Group Coverage.

if you've had health problems

Acceptance for individual health insurance is not guaranteed, except as noted above. You may be accepted at preferred rates, offered a higher premium, or declined for coverage. Read about the application and underwriting process.

State law does require that, once accepted, you be covered for any pre-existing health problems after 6 months of coverage.
