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.
Call ahead
Office hours change around open enrollment, and many agencies book appointments during the busiest weeks. Calling ahead saves a wasted trip.
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.
Before you call an agent
- 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.
- Write down the enrollment deadline and confirm your first premium payment.
- Check that the agent's license is active with the state regulator.
Checking an agent's license in Michigan
- Michigan consumers can check whether an agent is licensed using the DIFS Locator, the department's online search for resident and nonresident producers, counselors and solicitors. Source

What if an office I visited won't renew my plan?
