How to get ready
- Write down the enrollment deadline and confirm your first premium payment.
- Compare total yearly cost (premiums plus deductible), not just the monthly premium.
- Check that the agent's license is active with the state regulator.
- Ask each agent which carriers they can quote in your county.
Checking an agent's license in Florida
- Florida's Department of Financial Services runs a free online Licensee Search. It shows an agent's contact details, valid licenses, active appointments and the insurers the agent can write with. Source
Frequently asked questions
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 Sarasota book appointments during open enrollment (Nov 1 to January 15 on the HealthCare.gov). 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.
