Why work with a health insurance agent?

Learn about a smart way to choose the right coverage for you or your employees.

Working with an agent

Choose your plan with confidence

An agent can guide you through the entire decision-making process and help you find the best value for your healthcare dollar – and it doesn’t cost you anything. Research shows that people who work with an agent also feel more confident in the plan they choose.* 

Here are the top three reasons to work with a licensed agent:

Your agent works for you

Because agents can represent a variety of insurance companies, your agent is loyal to you and not a specific plan or product. 

You can trust your agent to have your needs and best interests in mind and look at all the options available in the market.

Your agent knows health insurance

Your agent can make it easier to shop and compare different plans and products and save you time. 

Spend just one hour with an agent rather than 10-20 hours researching plans on your own.

Your agent provides personalized service

Blue Cross has agents in all 87 counties in Minnesota. Chances are there’s one near your home or work. 

You can meet in person to talk about your unique needs and get answers on the spot.
