Frequently Asked Questions   California Life & Health Insurance Guarantee Association
 
Are covered health insurance policies fully protected?
No. The health insurance protection for which the Guarantee Association may become liable shall be the contractual obligations for which the insurer is liable or would have been liable if it were not an insolvent insurer, up to a maximum benefit of approximately $200,000. This maximum limit is subject to increase or decrease based upon changes in the health care cost component of the consumer price index. Again, some health insurance, like that provided by managed care organizations and associations, is not protected by the Guarantee Association.
