A consumer information project of Health Access, ACORN, CalPIRG, Congress of California Seniors, Consumers Union, Health Consumer Alliance and Western Center on Law and Poverty, funded by Community Catalyst.

California’s Hospital Fair Pricing Act classifies people as underinsured if they spent more than 10% of their income on out-of-pocket medical expenses in the last 12 months.

The Commonwealth Fund classifies people as underinsured if they had insurance all year, and either:

• spent more than 10% of their income on out-of-pocket medical expenses (OOPs), OR
• had an income level below 200% FPL and spent more than 5% of income on OOPs, OR
• had a deductible that took 5% or more of their income.

Use this tool to figure out whether you might qualify as underinsured using any of these definitions.
