Before you call an agent
- Compare total yearly cost (premiums plus deductible), not just the monthly premium.
- Check that the agent's license is active with the state regulator.
- Ask each agent which carriers they can quote in your county.
- Have a realistic estimate of next year's household income; subsidies are based on it.
