Signing this AOR will also give you a new, faster tool for customer service. Instead of waiting on hold for two hours with a carrier call up your agent and ask him to help you out.

Best part, signing an AOR cost you nothing. Do you know who your agent is? Odds are you may not even have one. If that’s the case reach out to your local Health Insurance Specialists for the best in the business.
