Stay covered when you need it most

Blue Shield of California is here for you when life changes affect your coverage, including job loss. We have plans to help you keep your coverage no matter where life takes you.

Losing your medical, dental, or vision coverage? We've got options.

If your employer-sponsored coverage has ended — or if COBRA is too expensive — an Individual and Family Plan could be a more affordable way to stay covered.*
