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.
How to get ready
- Have a realistic estimate of next year's household income; subsidies are based on it.
- 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 Alabama
- The Alabama Department of Insurance offers a Check License Status / Licensee Search tool on its website for confirming that an agent or broker is licensed. Its site also links to an Insurance Agent Search hosted through the NAIC. Source
