Can I do everything by phone instead?
Yes. Licensed agents can quote, enroll and send documents electronically, which is how most people enroll today.
Do I need an appointment?
Not always, but many offices near Newark book appointments during open enrollment (Nov 1 to January 31 on the Get Covered New Jersey). Calling first is the safest bet.
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.
