How To Be A Health Insurance Broker? 
The requirements to be a health insurance brokerwill vary from state to state . Generally there will be a specified number of hours of training , generally in a classroom setting though online training is becoming more accepted , that a person will have to complete before they will be allowed to take their state 's insurance exam . The applicant must successfully complete their state 's Life & Health Insurance exam before they can become a licensed insurance and legally engage in the sale of life and health insurance products . You should also expect to be required to have Errors & Omissions Insurance either by your state or by most , if not all , of the insurance carriers whose products you will want to sell . Completing these steps will then get you to the stage where you are technically trained and legal to sell life and health insurance products , However , this does n't mean that you will really have anything but the most superficial knowledge of the life and health insurance industries and the basic rules of the road . After that your real education begins and will have to continue throughout your career as the Life and Health Insurance business is multifaceted and constantly changing . This has never been more true than now in the era of health care reform .
