Open enrollment is the time of year when you can enroll in or change your health insurance plan. It’s also a great opportunity to review your health care needs and compare different options.
But with so many plans and providers to choose from, how do you know which one is right for you?
In this blog post, we’ll share some tips and resources to help you prepare for the 2023 open enrollment in California, which runs from November 1, 2022 to January 31, 20231. Whether you’re looking for a new plan, switching plans, or renewing your current plan, we’ll help you make an informed decision that fits your budget and lifestyle.
Why You Should Care About Open Enrollment
Health insurance is more than just a safety net in case of emergencies. It’s also a way to access preventive care, manage chronic conditions, and improve your overall wellness. Having health insurance can also protect you from unexpected medical bills that could put a strain on your finances.
According to a recent survey by Covered California, the state’s health insurance marketplace, more than half of Californians who are uninsured or under-insured say they are worried about paying for health care costs in the next year2. The survey also found that many Californians are unaware of the financial assistance available to them through Covered California or Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program.
That’s why open enrollment is so important. It’s your chance to explore your options and find a plan that meets your needs and qualifies you for financial help. You may be surprised by how much you can save by shopping around and comparing plans.

How to Get Ready for Open Enrollment
Before you start browsing plans and providers, there are some steps you can take to prepare for open enrollment and make the process easier and faster. Here are some things you can do:
Gather your personal information. You’ll need some basic information about yourself and anyone else in your household who needs coverage, such as names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, income, and immigration status.
Estimate your health care needs. Think about how often you use health care services, what kind of services you need or expect to need, and how much you can afford to pay out-of-pocket. This will help you determine what level of coverage and benefits you want.
Check your eligibility for financial assistance. Depending on your income and household size, you may qualify for subsidies that lower your monthly premiums or out-of-pocket costs. You may also qualify for free or low-cost coverage through Medi-Cal.
Compare plans and providers. Once you have an idea of what kind of plan you want and how much you can spend, you can start comparing different plans and providers that are available in your area. You can use the Covered California Plan Finder to see the details of each plan, such as deductibles, copays, coinsurance, network size, quality ratings, and customer reviews.
Enroll or renew your plan. After you’ve chosen a plan that suits your needs, you can enroll or renew your plan online through Covered California5, by phone at 1-800-300-1506, or in person with a certified enroller near you6. You can also contact us at EPIA INC for expert guidance and support throughout the enrollment process.
