Before subsidies, the average benchmark silver plan for a 40-year-old in Connecticut costs $1,005 a month for 2027 (the national average is $704). Premium tax credits bring that down for many households, depending on income and family size.
Brokers in the Norwich area can quote individual, family and self-employed coverage from multiple carriers licensed in Connecticut. Their commission is built into the premium, so using one doesn't raise your price. Here are 12 brokerages within reach of Norwich.

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 Connecticut.
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 Norwich broker can quote
For 2027, marketplace plans in Connecticut come from 2 insurers: Anthem and ConnectiCare Benefits. Not every insurer sells in every county. An independent broker appointed with several of them can compare prices and networks side by side.
Before you call an agent
- 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.
- Compare total yearly cost (premiums plus deductible), not just the monthly premium.
