Bill > AB1907

This bill, commencing July 1, 2027, would expand the California Health Benefit Exchange's (also known as Covered California) automatic enrollment options for individuals seeking health coverage, allowing them to be enrolled not only in the lowest cost silver plan but also in the plan their household members are enrolled in, or the lowest cost plan available to eligible Native Americans, or their previous managed care plan if information is available. The bill clarifies that this automatic enrollment can occur either before existing coverage through an "insurance affordability program" (programs that help make health insurance more affordable, often for low-income individuals) ends, or upon submission of a complete application for such a program through the Statewide Automated Welfare System, a state system that manages various public assistance programs. Additionally, the bill mandates that Covered California provide enrollees with a notice before their coverage begins, detailing their enrollment, options for changing plans, and clear instructions on how to activate their coverage, including premium payment requirements or how to opt-in if no premium is due.
