Show details

Sharp Health Plan will automatically re-enroll you and members of your household into your current health plan, if you do not actively renew your insurance or select a different health insurance plan, if you remain eligible and your plans are still available.
Even after you have been automatically re-enrolled, you will be able to make changes to your health plan until Dec. 15, 2019, for coverage beginning Jan. 1, 2020, and you will have until Jan. 31, 2020, for coverage beginning Feb. 1, 2020.
You will continue to receive your monthly bill from Sharp Health Plan. Please pay your premium (monthly cost) directly to Sharp Health Plan by the due date to continue your coverage for Jan. 1, 2020. Please do not send your payment to Covered California.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: If you pay your premium through Sharp Health Plan’s auto pay program online, you will need to update your account with your new 2020 premium amount before Dec. 26, 2019. This will ensure accurate and timely premium payments and prevent any disruptions in your coverage.
Individual plans purchased directly from Sharp Health Plan do not allow you to receive financial assistance to lower your monthly premiums or your out-of-pocket costs. Beginning Oct. 15, you can visit CoveredCA.com and click “Shop and Compare” or “Find Help” to see if you qualify for premium assistance. Even if you were not eligible for financial assistance in the past, you may be eligible to lower your monthly premium next year.

Covered California will renew you and your eligible dependents into the health plan you have now, if you do not log into your account to renew your health coverage, choose a new plan, or cancel your coverage. If your current health plan is no longer available, Covered California will automatically enroll you and your eligible dependents into a similar health plan. Covered California will use the newest information in your application to renew your coverage.
Even after you have been automatically re-enrolled you can still make changes to your health plan coverage. You have until Dec. 15, 2019 to make changes to your health plan for coverage beginning Jan. 1, 2020, and until Jan. 31, 2020, for coverage beginning Feb. 1, 2020.
You will continue to receive your monthly bill from Sharp Health Plan. Please pay your premium (monthly cost) directly to Sharp Health Plan by the due date to continue your coverage for Jan. 1, 2020. Please do not send your payment to Covered California.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: If you pay your premium through Sharp Health Plan’s auto pay program online, you will need to update your account with your new 2020 premium amount before Dec. 26, 2019. This will ensure accurate and timely premium payments and prevent any disruptions in your coverage.

The amount of premium assistance you will receive in 2020 could be different based upon changes in your household size, income, and the health coverage rates in your area.
To get the maximum premium assistance (tax credits) you qualify for, update your information at CoveredCA.com/Renew.
Note: If you received premium assistance (tax credits) in 2019, you will have to “reconcile” using IRS Form 8962 when you file your federal tax return. You will compare the amount of premium assistance (tax credit) you received in advance during 2019 with the amount you actually qualify for based on your final 2019 household income and other eligibility information you report on your tax return. If the amounts are different, your tax refund or tax owed will be higher or lower.

Even if you were not eligible for premium assistance (tax credits) in the past, you may be eligible to lower your monthly premium. Beginning October 15, visit CoveredCA.com and click “Shop and Compare” or “Find Help” to see if you qualify for premium assistance.
