Before you choose a plan, check that the hospitals and doctors you use are in its network. An agent can look that up for each plan you compare.

Broker or agent: what's the difference?

A captive agent sells one company's plans. An independent agent or broker is appointed with several insurers and can compare them. In everyday use the words overlap, so ask any office which carriers it can quote in Louisiana.

What a broker can compare for you

Premiums, deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums; which doctors and hospitals are in each network; whether your prescriptions are covered; and whether you qualify for a premium tax credit.

Do brokers cost more?

No. Health insurers pay brokers a commission that's already part of the premium. You pay the same price for a plan whether you buy it yourself or through a broker.

Carriers a Baton Rouge broker can quote

For 2027, marketplace plans in Louisiana come from 5 insurers: Louisiana Blue (BCBS of Louisiana / HMO Louisiana), Ambetter from Louisiana Healthcare Connections, AmeriHealth Caritas, UnitedHealthcare and CHRISTUS Health Plan. Not every insurer sells in every county. An independent broker appointed with several of them can compare prices and networks side by side.

How to get ready

1. Compare total yearly cost (premiums plus deductible), not just the monthly premium.
2. Check that the agent's license is active with the state regulator.
3. Have a realistic estimate of next year's household income; subsidies are based on it.
4. Make a list of your doctors, hospitals and prescriptions before you call anyone.
