How to Find a Health Insurance Agent

Finding a health insurance agent you can trust is important. A good health insurance agent will help you find a health insurance policy that offers good and affordable coverage. If you have preexisting conditions, or if you are having a difficult time finding policy that you can afford, a health insurance agent can help you in your search.

Instructions

• 1

  Ask friends or co-workers for the name of a health insurance agent that they have used in the past. A referral means that you are using someone that has a history of doing a good job.

• 2

  Look for an independent health insurance agent. If you choose an agent that works for a specific company, he will be able to offer a limited number of policies. An independent agent looks at several different companies and offers a wider range of insurance policies.

• 3

  Interview the agent. He should be able to explain what the policies cover, and ask specific questions about what type of coverage you need and what you can afford.

• 4

  Choose an agent who takes the time to answer your questions and who has been in business for at least a few years. The experience means he will likely continue working as an agent and can help you with future health insurance policies.
