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
- Have a realistic estimate of next year's household income; subsidies are based on it.
- Compare total yearly cost (premiums plus deductible), not just the monthly premium.
- 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.
Checking an agent's license in Maryland
- The Maryland Insurance Administration offers its own Producer (Agent/Broker) or Producer Firm Search within its Company and Producer Search tool. It covers producers and firms currently or previously licensed in Maryland. Source
