Office hours change around open enrollment, and many agencies book appointments during the busiest weeks. Calling ahead saves a wasted trip.
Why a walk-in office
An in-person meeting helps when your situation has moving parts: a household with mixed coverage, self-employment income that changes, or a doctor you need to keep.
Before you call an agent
- Write down the enrollment deadline and confirm your first premium payment.
- 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.
Checking an agent's license in Virginia
- The Virginia Bureau of Insurance offers its own Producer (Agent/Agency) Lookup online, along with a lookup by Virginia license number or National Producer Number. Consumers can use it to confirm an agent or agency is licensed in Virginia. Source
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment?
Not always, but many offices near Bedford book appointments during open enrollment (Nov 1 to January 29 on the Virginia's Insurance Marketplace). 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.
