Call ahead
Office hours change around open enrollment, and many agencies book appointments during the busiest weeks. Calling ahead saves a wasted trip.
A quick checklist
- Ask each agent which carriers they can quote in your county.
- Check that the agent's license is active with the state regulator.
- Write down the enrollment deadline and confirm your first premium payment.
- Have a realistic estimate of next year's household income; subsidies are based on it.
Checking an agent's license in California
- California offers a free online Check a License tool from the Department of Insurance. You can search by license number or name to see an agent's or broker's license status and any disciplinary history. Source

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.
Do I need an appointment?
Not always, but many offices near Walnut Creek book appointments during open enrollment (Nov 1 to January 31 on the Covered California). Calling first is the safest bet.
