Call ahead
Office hours change around open enrollment, and many agencies book appointments during the busiest weeks. Calling ahead saves a wasted trip.
What to bring
Photo ID, Social Security numbers for everyone applying, a recent pay stub or income estimate, and a list of your doctors and prescriptions.
How to get ready
- Make a list of your doctors, hospitals and prescriptions before you call anyone.
- Compare total yearly cost (premiums plus deductible), not just the monthly premium.
- Have a realistic estimate of next year's household income; subsidies are based on it.
- Write down the enrollment deadline and confirm your first premium payment.
Checking an agent's license in Georgia
- Georgia's insurance office directs consumers to a License Lookup tool on its Sircon licensing site to find out whether an insurance professional, agency or company is licensed in the state. Source
