Call 866-645-8540Broker 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 Ohio.
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 Broadview Heights broker can quote
For 2027, marketplace plans in Ohio come from 9 insurers: Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Ambetter from Buckeye Health Plan, Medical Mutual (MedMutual), Oscar Health, SummaCare, UnitedHealthcare, Antidote Health, AmeriHealth Caritas and Paramount Insurance. Not every insurer sells in every county. An independent broker appointed with several of them can compare prices and networks side by side.
