Visalia, CA – Family HealthCare Network’s (FHCN) team of certified enrollment counselors remain available to the public as the enrollment deadline for Covered California will come to a close on Sunday, January 31, 2016. Securing coverage before the deadline remains a high priority, as residents in the state of California are required to have health insurance or pay a tax penalty. In 2016, the penalty will increase to 2.5% of yearly household income, or $695 per adult up to $2,085 per family, whichever is higher.
FHCN’s certified enrollment counselors are offering extended assistance hours this week and through the weekend at several of the organization’s health centers throughout Tulare and Kings Counties, as well as its Resource Center in Porterville. For availability by date, time, and location, see the full schedule below.
Consumers must have a “qualifying life event” in order to enroll in a health plan after the open enrollment period has ended. Visit any FHCN health center to speak with a counselor regarding your coverage options or call the organization’s enrollment line at (559) 741-4366 for more information.
