As COVID-19 continues and with the flu season rapidly approaching, it is important to make sure you and your family are covered with health insurance. 

From Nov. 1, 2021, to Jan. 31, 2022, California residents can purchase health insurance for the upcoming year. During this period only, you can apply without a qualifying life event — a list of criteria that people typically have to meet. This is also the only place where a California resident can apply to see if he or she qualifies for the government to help pay for medical insurance through a tax credit or subsidy. 

There are a variety of reasons why health insurance is so important including staying debt-free, disease prevention, and lower medical bills. 

Choosing the right health plan can be overwhelming. There are several choices to consider including differences between premiums, co-payments, doctor networks, and specialist referrals.   

However, when you work with the Marc Sigmon Insurance Agency, our certified health agents can help you determine which options best fit your needs.
