Ask these seven and you'll know more than most people do at signing. If an agent dodges any of them, that's your answer.
The list
Write them down and work through them in order:
- Is this an ACA Marketplace plan or a private plan?
- Would I qualify for a subsidy or Medicaid instead?
- Is my doctor in this network — by name?
- What's the deductible, and what's the out-of-pocket maximum?
- What's excluded? Prescriptions, maternity, mental health?
- How does this handle my pre-existing condition specifically?
- What happens to my premium at renewal?
Why the first two matter most
An agent who never mentions that you might qualify for a subsidy is not comparing your options. They're selling one.
