In partnership with Dignity Health

Winter is all about staying warm, but looking forward. I know that taking care of our family’s health is the foundation of a great year. My husband and I have each worked independently the past few years. Real talk: while it has offered us great work-life balance, it also means we have to stay on top of our own accounting, savings, and healthcare planning. Yep, that means knowing about Open Enrollment, the time of year during which we can sign up for health insurance.

The open enrollment deadline in California is January 31. To learn more about important timelines, enrollment, and qualifying events check out the resources from Dignity Health found here.

I’m thankful for having been able to enroll in a health plan we found through Covered California—the health insurance marketplace. I was able to keep our same primary doctor through my last pregnancy and thereafter. The process was easier than I expected, but you do have to be mindful of important timelines. With this important part of our lives squared away, I feel like I can start all my 2020 planning.

Wishing you a happy and healthy new year!
