In Inyo County, you can call Health and Human Services and ask for help with the Affordable Care Act. Officials say trained staff will walk you through the process.

The other option is to contact California’s service online that leads to Affordable Care Act sign-ups. It’s called Covered California. Local officials say that this computer system works well. The internet address is www.coveredca.com. Or you can call 1-800-300-1506. This service helps you compare policies and download applications.
