You can cancel your Covered California health or dental plan at any time. Covered California allows individuals to cancel their plans if they no longer wish to be enrolled or if they have found alternative coverage. However, it is important to note that there are certain guidelines and timeframes to follow when canceling your plan.

To cancel your Covered California plan, you will need to log in to your Covered California account. Once logged in, you can navigate to the “Manage My Coverage” section or a similar option, where you should find an option to cancel your plan. It is recommended to provide at least 14 days advance notice when requesting plan termination.

When canceling your plan, it is advisable to request the termination to be effective at the end of the month. This will ensure that you have coverage until the end of the current month and avoid any gaps in healthcare coverage. It is also important to consider any outstanding premium payments or financial obligations that need to be settled before canceling your plan.
