To ensure more people are covered with health insurance, Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian and Valley Health Plan will host three information sessions on the Midpeninsula this Saturday, Nov. 16, about low-cost insurance options and how to apply for them.
The sessions will allow attendees to ask questions during the open enrollment period for Covered California insurance that opened Oct. 15 and closes on Jan. 31.
It’s the only time of the year that people can elect to receive health coverage through the Affordable Care Act. Outside of the open enrollment period, people can qualify for affordable health insurance if they experience a life event such as the birth of a child or the loss of a work-based plan. And because California recently made more people eligible for aid in paying premiums, those who did not qualify in the past may now be eligible.
For more information on available insurance options, visit valleyhealthplan.org or coveredca.com.
The sessions will take place on Nov. 16 at the following times and locations:
Palo Alto
10-11 a.m.
All Saints Episcopal Church
Mountain View
12-1 p.m.
Community Services Agency
204 Stierlin Road, Mountain View
