A health insurance agent is someone who assists a person or business in selecting, purchasing, and maintaining health insurance policies. They act as intermediaries between insurance companies and clients in determining the most appropriate kind of coverage for a client, according to needs, budget, and eligibility. A health insurance agent can work independently, work with an insurance agency, or be employed by an insurance company.
