Looking for health insurance? Special Enrollment might be the answer. The Actors Fund can help.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Questions about Covered California or Medi-Cal? Wondering what changes are happening with the Affordable Care Act (ACA)? Do you still need health insurance or face a penalty for being uninsured? How can you get health insurance before the next Open Enrollment?\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Actors Fund\u2019s Health Services program can help answer these questions. Remember The Actors Fund assists everyone in the performing arts and entertainment and that includes musicians.<\/p>\n
Do you quality for Special Enrollment?\u00a0 Individuals and families that experience a qualifying life event (such as loss of health coverage, change in marital status or family size, moving to California) can enroll in a Covered California plan outside of the annual open enrollment.\u00a0 Typically, you have 60 days from the qualifying event to enroll in health insurance.<\/p>\n
If you are lower income (less than $16,643 for a single person), you might be eligible for Medi-Cal which has no open enrollment period. Medi-Cal is comprehensive medical care at low or no cost to those that are income eligible.<\/p>\n
