Choosing a health insurance broker is almost as important as choosing the right health care plan. So, what are some signs that a broker knows their stuff? Read on to find out.
Their services are free
You heard right! An honest health insurance broker does not charge you for their services; They get paid in commissions from the insurance companies. So, if a broker asks for money in exchange for finding you a plan, run away from them fast!
They can break down complicated topics
A knowledgeable health insurance broker should have a solid grasp of each plan they present and have the ability to explain them in simple, easily understood terms.
They understand your needs
Everyone is seeking the greatest value for their money. But a good broker won’t just push you towards a plan because it’s cheap. They’ve had an in-depth conversation about your and/or your family’s needs, and use that information to help you pick the best plan for you.
They make comparing plans easy
Looking at different plans means having to digest a lot of information at once. The best brokers can create tables or charts which help you easily see the differences between plans.
