It is also important to get your health care insurance plan from a trusted source.

Beware of Health Insurance Brokers who approach you in common areas such as parking lots, hallway, lobby or sidewalk, or solicit potential enrollee’s door (in person, or via leaflet). And be leery of commercials on TV, promising free add on services.

Health Insurance Brokers can schedule appointments with beneficiaries only at the request of the beneficiary.
