Frequently asked questions
Are local health insurance agents free?
Yes, for individual and family plans. The agent's commission is paid by the insurer and is already built into the premium.
Can an agent help if I'm self-employed?
Yes. Agents work with 1099 and self-employed clients every day, including estimating income that changes from year to year.
What's the difference between an agent and a navigator?
Navigators are trained helpers funded to give free, unbiased enrollment help, but they can't recommend a plan. Licensed agents can recommend plans and may also sell coverage outside the marketplace.
