How To Check If Your Health Insurance Is Active? 
To learn if your health insurance policy is active , call your insurance professional or your carrier directly . They will ask your policy number , if you do not know your policy number your personal information recorded on your application will suffice . I can not stress enough the value of a personal relationship with a local insurance broker . This highly trained professional is in the business of looking out for you . They stay in contact , informing you of recent industry updates that may affect you and your family . You never pay for this service . While you can bypass the insurance professional and buy your own insurance plan , this is not a good idea . You wo n't know what you 've purchased until you need it and the bills start pouring in or you discover you do n't have the coverage you thought you had ; or both . I hope this response has been helpful . .
