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
- Make a list of your doctors, hospitals and prescriptions before you call anyone.
- Write down the enrollment deadline and confirm your first premium payment.
- Ask each agent which carriers they can quote in your county.
- Compare total yearly cost (premiums plus deductible), not just the monthly premium.
Checking an agent's license in South Carolina
- South Carolina's Department of Insurance uses the NAIC State Based Systems online lookup for its license database, so anyone can search there to confirm an agent's or agency's license. Source
