When you need to find your own health insurance in California, it can be hard to know where to turn. Many people have no experience purchasing individual health insurance plans. But if you are no longer covered by your employer, have started your own business, or you are working on your own as a contractor, it’s important to buy your own health insurance plan to make sure you and your family are covered.
One place to turn to for help is an independent insurance agent. An independent insurance agent that works with several companies can allow you to compare different plans and often get you a good deal. There are many different insurance agents available to help you with your search. Here are some tips on choosing one to work with:
- Ask your friends and family for referrals. People you know are often a good place to start looking for an insurance agent.
- After you’ve gotten the name of several agents, talk to them to determine how courteous and responsive they are.
- Ask questions, and note how thoroughly they respond with answers.
- Verify their licensing with the Department of Insurance.
- Find out how long they’ve been in business and how much experience with filing claims they have.
