At Health Plans of NC, our experienced and professional team of locally based health insurance agents are here to help you.

We've recently launched a new website to make it even easier for anyone living in North Carolina to access the best health insurance plan.

But if you want more control over your chosen agent, we recommend you look at our new 'Find an Agent' feature. This tool gives you the power to choose which insurance broker you use.

You can search for an agent with specific skills, experience, and knowledge matching your requirements. For example, an agent specializing in plans for people over the age of 65 or an expert in providing advice about Medicare Supplement plans.

Benefits of choosing your own agent

Finding an agent to match your specific needs offers lots of benefits, including the following:

The power to choose which agent is right for you
Access contact details so you can directly contact each agent by phone, text, or email
Read genuine reviews from other customers to help you make a decision that's right for you and your family
Check each agent's availability and schedule an appointment with them directly at a time that suits you
Find someone who speaks the same language as you to make communicating your needs easier
Look for an agent with specialist services or advice, like short-term coverage, if you need to arrange coverage quickly
Explore where each of our agents is based so you find someone in the same county that understands what you need

Finding the right broker now also offers lots of benefits in the long term.

Once you've established a relationship with your preferred broker, you've got someone to call each year who can make sure you're still on the right plan for your situation.
You can get in touch with your broker when you've got a question. For example, if there's a change in your personal circumstances, such as a new family member or if you move to a new location.
Your relationship means you can access quick recommendations from your broker, who has extensive product knowledge and is familiar with your situation.

How to use our 'Find an Agent’ page

On our new website, you can check all our agent's profiles, including their customer reviews and star ratings.

An easy-to-use filter allows you to search by the criteria that is important to you. For example, if you're looking for an agent who speaks Spanish or Korean, click those boxes under the language section to find a list of our agents who can help you.

You can also filter by product type, carrier, or certification, which is helpful if you’re looking for specific coverage, such as dental or vision insurance.

In addition, our 25 agent profiles feature their availability, licensing details, and home base. Our team live and work throughout the state of North Carolina, including:
