Call ahead
Office hours change around open enrollment, and many agencies book appointments during the busiest weeks. Calling ahead saves a wasted trip.
A quick checklist
- Check that the agent's license is active with the state regulator.
- 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.
- Write down the enrollment deadline and confirm your first premium payment.

What if an office I visited won't renew my plan?
