Can I use an agent or broker to buy health insurance in the Marketplace?

You will be able to use a licensed agent or broker to provide help or handle your SHOP business. You won’t pay more if you use a SHOP agent or broker.

Get SHOP help from experienced agents or brokers

A licensed agent or broker can help you:

• apply for insurance for your employees
• review and compare price, coverage, quality, and other important features
• choose a plan that works for your budget, business, and employees

Using your own health insurance broker

You can continue using your current licensed agent or broker to buy health insurance in the SHOP.

You pay the same, with or without a broker

The premiums you pay will be the same with or without the help of agents or brokers. Agents and brokers are usually paid by the insurance companies whose policies they sell.
