As the end of the year approaches many consumers search for the most affordable insurance plan for next year. If you are searching for a new plan, be cautious of solicitors. Michelle Reinen (rye-nun) is with The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP).
It is wise to avoid solicitors and speak with an actual insurance agent. When consulting with an agent there are things to look for when choosing a plan.
If you have been targeted by a health insurance plan solicitor you can contact DATCP’s Consumer Protection Hotline by phone at 1-800-422-7128 or by email at DATCP Hotline at wi dot gov.
