The Covered California Storefront Program was designed to increase the visibility of free, local and confidential in-person enrollment assistance for consumers. Certified Insurance Agents and Certified Enrollment Entities (also referred to as Community Partners) can connect to the Covered California brand by electing to open a Storefront in their community. Participation in the program is free.

Consumers looking for local, in-person assistance with their application can use the Storefront Finder Tool to search for Storefronts by zip code, days/hours of operation, and languages spoken.

In-person enrollment assistance plays an instrumental part of the Covered California mission by helping consumers understand their options and successfully enroll into coverage. Storefronts provide an opportunity to connect with harder to reach consumers and current members who want to review their options with certified and licensed professionals.
