When you speak to an insurance company, they can only tell you about their health insurance plans. When you talk with a broker you have many more options to look at and you can explain to the broker what benefits are important to you; which doctors you prefer, if you have a preference for a local hospital, if you need specialized care for a chronic condition.
A broker will be able to analyze your situation and search all available insurance companies to find the best coverage for you. Best of all the advice is FREE, Health Insurance Brokers are paid by the companies they represent, which is built into the premium whether you go direct to a company or through a broker.
