Call ahead
Office hours change around open enrollment, and many agencies book appointments during the busiest weeks. Calling ahead saves a wasted trip.
Before you call an agent
- Write down the enrollment deadline and confirm your first premium payment.
- 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.
- Ask each agent which carriers they can quote in your county.
Checking an agent's license in Missouri
- The Missouri Department of Commerce & Insurance offers a License & Contact Info search where consumers can check an agent's or agency's license. It also shows the agency an agent represents. Source
