Top FAQs for Health Insurance Agents in 2025
1. What are my options if my current ACA plan’s premium has increased?
Premium hikes can be stressful, but you’re here to save the day. Here’s how you can guide your clients:
- Check for updated subsidies: Sometimes clients qualify for more help than they think—be the hero who finds them extra savings.
- Explore alternative plans: Quotit’s Instant Plan Comparison makes it easy to shop smarter, not harder.
- Explain plan details: Walk clients through deductibles, copays, and coverage levels to help them find the best bang for their buck.
2. How does Medicare Advantage differ from Original Medicare in 2025?
Medicare questions never go out of style, and in 2025, clients want the latest scoop:
- Medicare Advantage: These plans often bundle extras like dental, vision, and gym memberships. In 2025, telehealth and mental health benefits are getting even better.
- Original Medicare: While basic, it pairs well with Medigap for extra coverage. Don’t forget to explain out-of-pocket costs so there are no surprises.
- Agent Tip: Use Quotit’s BEQ feature to quickly check client eligibility and compare options—it’s like having a crystal ball for Medicare decisions.
3. Can I still enroll in a health insurance plan outside Open Enrollment?
The short answer? Yes, but there are rules. Here’s the breakdown for 2025:
- Who qualifies? Life events like getting married, having a baby, or losing employer coverage still open doors. New this year, dual-eligibles and LIS-only individuals can now make monthly changes—game changer!
- Agent Tip: Be your client’s guide through the maze of SEPs, using Quotit to make the process as smooth as a perfect sales pitch.
4. How do short-term health insurance plans work in 2025?
Short-term plans can fill gaps, but they’re not one-size-fits-all:
- State-specific rules: Some states have cracked down on short-term plans, so double-check what’s allowed in your area.
- When they work: These plans are great for temporary needs but often don’t include the full range of benefits your clients might expect. Transparency is your secret weapon here.
5. What are the tax implications of health insurance in 2025?
Taxes and health insurance—two things no one wants to think about, but they have to. You can make it easier for your clients:
- HSAs and FSAs: Educate clients on 2025 contribution limits and how these accounts can save them money come tax season.
- Premium Tax Credits: Help clients understand how ACA subsidies can lower their taxable income—it’s like finding free money.
- Agent Tip: A little proactive guidance goes a long way in building trust (and keeping clients happy).
