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
- Ask each agent which carriers they can quote in your county.
- 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.
- Make a list of your doctors, hospitals and prescriptions before you call anyone.
