It’s time to renew your health insurance

• Covered California will automatically re-enroll you and members of your household into your current health coverage with Sharp Health Plan for 2024 as long as you remain eligible and your plan is still available for 2024.
  
  If you’re happy with your current health coverage, no action is required.
  
  To make changes to your coverage for 2024, keep the following dates in mind:
  
  

  For coverage beginning	Make changes to your plan by
  Jan. 1, 2024	Dec. 15, 2024

• You’ll 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. Please do not send your payment to Covered California.

I’m receiving premium assistance for my health coverage this year.

Update your information with Covered California to ensure you get the maximum premium assistance that you qualify for. The premium assistance you receive in 2024 could be different based on changes in your household size, income and the health coverage rates in your area.

A heads-up for tax season

If you received premium assistance in 2023, you’ll need to file IRS Form 8962 along with your federal tax return. During tax season, Covered California will send you the information you need to file the form correctly.

I’m not receiving premium assistance for my health coverage this year.

Use Covered California's Shop and Compare tool, available beginning Nov. 1, to see if you qualify for premium assistance. Even if you were not eligible for premium assistance in the past, you may be eligible to lower your monthly premium.
