Call ahead
Office hours change around open enrollment, and many agencies book appointments during the busiest weeks. Calling ahead saves a wasted trip.
How to get ready
- 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.
- Ask each agent which carriers they can quote in your county.
- Check that the agent's license is active with the state regulator.
Checking an agent's license in Minnesota
- The Minnesota Department of Commerce's Look Up a License Holder directory includes an Insurance Producers/Agencies search, which links to the online licensing database where you can confirm an agent's license. Source
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment?
Not always, but many offices near Austin book appointments during open enrollment (Nov 1 to January 15 on the MNsure). Calling first is the safest bet.
What if an office I visited won't renew my plan?
Any licensed agent certified with the marketplace can help you switch plans or renew at open enrollment.
Can I do everything by phone instead?
Yes. Licensed agents can quote, enroll and send documents electronically, which is how most people enroll today.
