2024 Open Enrollment for L.A. Care Covered™ Providing an Affordable Path to Wellness 

LOS ANGELES – The 2024 Open Enrollment Period on the Covered California Exchange is starting on November 1, and L.A. Care Health Plan is offering quality care at an affordable price, with premiums as low as $0 per month. L.A. Care, the largest health plan in Los Angeles County, has the most affordable rates across all metal levels compared to other exchange plans in the county. L.A. Care offers an affordable path to wellness. 

“As a publicly operated plan, L.A. Care is not beholden to shareholders expecting a large profit like you see with commercial plans,” said John Baackes, L.A. Care CEO. “We are proud to keep rates affordable, while still offering our members what they need – a large provider network, the convenience of care on the go, and the certainty that we are here to stay. L.A Care has been providing health coverage in Los Angeles County for more than 25 years, and we are committed to offering affordable health coverage to all Angelenos, both now and in the future.”

L.A. Care’s large provider network includes UCLA and Optum. Members have access to walk-in Minutes Clinics, Urgent Care Centers, and a 24/7 Nurse Advice Line. 

“Open enrollment is an important three-month period where people can make critical decisions about health coverage for themselves and their families,” said Baackes. “We understand that health care is complicated, and that’s why we have teams ready to help explain the ins and outs.”

Prospective members have options on how to get help with enrollment or get information about the benefits of each plan. They can visit one of the L.A. Care/Blue Shield Promise Community Resource Centers across L.A. County where enrollers are on site. L.A. Care is also hosting informational booths across the county through the end of the open enrollment period. You can find these locations by going to the Upcoming Events section on the homepage of the L.A. Care website. Or, prospective members can call the L.A. Care Covered phone line at 855-222-4239 for assistance.

In addition to those shopping for health coverage, L.A. Care representatives are also available to answer questions from individuals who are transitioning from Medi-Cal into L.A. Care Covered. L.A. Care prioritizes health care quality, access and inclusion and is committed to advancing health equity among its members.
