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.
What to bring
Photo ID, Social Security numbers for everyone applying, a recent pay stub or income estimate, and a list of your doctors and prescriptions.
A quick checklist
- Ask each agent which carriers they can quote in your county.
- Check that the agent's license is active with the state regulator.
- Have a realistic estimate of next year's household income; subsidies are based on it.
- Make a list of your doctors, hospitals and prescriptions before you call anyone.
Checking an agent's license in Iowa
- The Iowa Insurance Division points the public to State Based Systems (SBS) License Services, run through the NAIC, to check a producer's license status, expiration date, appointments and lines of authority. Source
