California Individual Medical Insurance Regulations

California insurance state regulation prohibits medical insurance companies from including policy exclusions for specific pre-existing medical conditions. Insurers must "accept or reject" an application for a California individual medical insurance plan or California family medical insurance plan. Because California is an "accept or reject" state, the medical underwriting standards tend to be more stringent than in other states where a health insurance application can be approved with an exclusion on a pre-existing condition. If you are concerned about been declined, we would highly recommend that you contact us and let one of our licensed health insurance experts help you select a California medical insurance plan that will have a greater probability of approval.

Rates for California medical insurance plans are determined by your age and by the zip code in which you live. If you are a couple (California does not require that you be married) applying for coverage or a couple plus children, very often making the younger person the primary insured on the application will result in a lower monthly premium.

California Small Group Health Insurance Regulations

In California a "Small Group" is defined as any organization with between 2 and 50 employees. People who are employed by a business with a qualified small group operating within California are guaranteed approval and enrollment into the small group plan. Upon receipt of a California small group medical insurance application, the insurance company cannot adjust the premium rates by more than 10% due to medical underwriting. California Group Medical insurance rates are calculated on age, zip code of the employee’s home and the number of dependents and their ages. Qualified groups renewing an existing California group medical insurance plan follow the same criteria and rating guidelines. Qualifying as a small group, requires a company to have at least 2 employees that work at least 6 months of the year for a minimum of 20 hours per week. The owner of the business counts as an employee if he or she is on payroll and draws a salary from the business.
