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
- Make a list of your doctors, hospitals and prescriptions before you call anyone.
- Ask each agent which carriers they can quote in your county.
- Compare total yearly cost (premiums plus deductible), not just the monthly premium.
- Write down the enrollment deadline and confirm your first premium payment.
Checking an agent's license in Connecticut
- Connecticut points consumers to the NAIC-hosted license lookup to search for an agent or broker and view their license. The Insurance Department links to it from its producer licensing page. Source
Frequently asked questions
Can I do everything by phone instead?
Yes. Licensed agents can quote, enroll and send documents electronically, which is how most people enroll today.
What if an office I visited won't renew my plan?
Any licensed agent certified with the marketplace can help you switch plans or renew at open enrollment.
Do I need an appointment?
Not always, but many offices near Hartford book appointments during open enrollment (Nov 1 to January 15 on the Access Health CT). Calling first is the safest bet.
