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.
A quick checklist
- Have a realistic estimate of next year's household income; subsidies are based on it.
- Check that the agent's license is active with the state regulator.
- 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.
Checking an agent's license in Illinois
- Illinois producer licenses are handled through the national State-Based Systems (SBS) platform, where a licensee's record can be searched by jurisdiction, name and national producer number. Source
