Call 866-645-8540Do 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.
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.
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 Arizona.
Carriers a Valencia West broker can quote
For 2027, marketplace plans in Arizona come from 6 insurers: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona (HMO only), Arizona Complete Health (Health Net/Ambetter), Oscar Health, UnitedHealthcare, Imperial Insurance and Antidote Health.
