Insurance Agents are Important Force for Individuals Switching Coverage

Senior Intention to Switch

During the recent annual election period 14% of individuals switched their medical coverage plan. Another 32% of those individuals shopped for new coverage but did not switch. One of the items that differentiates these groups is their use of insurance agents. In fact, 26% of switchers said they relied on their agent to decide which insurer they should choose. This was true for just 15% of shoppers. This study also looks at seniors that are Group Retirees, Dual Eligibles and those with no supplemental health coverage.
