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
- 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.
- Write down the enrollment deadline and confirm your first premium payment.
- Compare total yearly cost (premiums plus deductible), not just the monthly premium.
Checking an agent's license in Illinois
- Illinois producer licenses are handled through the national State-Based Systems (SBS) platform, where a licensee's record can be searched by jurisdiction, name and national producer number. Source
