Da Vinci Schools' Student Support Services team can support students and families in applying for medical insurance. For more information, please contact your counselor or school nurse. Some students may qualify to enroll in no-cost or low-cost local, state, or federally sponsored health insurance programs.

Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid program. Medi-Cal provides free or low‑cost health coverage for individuals and families who meet certain income and eligibility criteria.

There is no deadline to apply for Medi-Cal—you can enroll at any time during the year.

For more information, visit the Medi-Cal program website or contact the Medi-Cal Member Helpline at (800) 541-5555.

> Learn about Medi-Cal

Covered California is the state’s health insurance marketplace (Affordable Care Act exchange), where individuals and families can compare and enroll in private health plans. Financial assistance—such as subsidies and tax credits—is often available to help lower monthly premiums and reduce out-of-pocket costs.

The annual open enrollment period runs from November 1 through January 31. You may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period outside of this window if you experience a qualifying life event (such as loss of coverage, marriage, birth of a child, or relocation), typically giving you 60 days to enroll.

If your household income is at or below 150% of the Federal Poverty Level and you do not qualify for Medi-Cal, you may be eligible to enroll at any time during the year.

> Learn about Covered California

If one or both parents have a job that provides health benefits, enrolling through employer-sponsored insurance is often the simplest option. Families can compare this coverage with what’s available through Covered California or Medi-Cal to determine the best fit for cost, coverage, and family needs.
