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.*

See if you qualify for Medi-Cal

Medi-Cal is government-sponsored free or low-cost health coverage for adults and children who meet income and other requirements.†

Turning 65? Stay with Blue Shield for Medicare coverage.

Medicare may be just around the corner. To help you get ready, we’ve made a step-by-step guide – with email reminders timed just for you. Sign up to find out how Medicare works, when you can enroll, and how to avoid penalties and common mistakes.

Wondering if you can apply for coverage now?

* To receive government financial help, you must apply for a Blue Shield plan through Covered California. Only Covered California can determine your eligibility and actual subsidy amount based on the information you enter in your application.

† Medi-Cal eligibility is determined by your local Social Services office.
