- Legacy Health, a nonprofit system with hospital campuses across the Portland area and Southwest Washington (including a full-service children's hospital), is a network worth checking before you choose a Portland plan; its planned merger with OHSU was called off, so the two remain separate networks.

Call ahead
Office hours change around open enrollment, and many agencies book appointments during the busiest weeks. Calling ahead saves a wasted trip.
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.
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.
How to get ready
- Have a realistic estimate of next year's household income; subsidies are based on it.
- Make a list of your doctors, hospitals and prescriptions before you call anyone.
- 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 Oregon
- Oregon's Division of Financial Regulation directs consumers to the NAIC State Based System search to look up an insurance agent's or agency's license status in Oregon. Source
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment?
Not always, but many offices near Portland book appointments during open enrollment (Nov 1 to January 15 on the Explore Health (Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace)). Calling first is the safest bet.
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.
