What happens after you submit
Insurance quote marketplaces collect your details once and pass them to insurers and agents who want to quote. EverQuote, for example, says its service is free to consumers, that its technology matches you to options after a short form, and that quotes may come by phone or email from local agents, usually within minutes. It says the information you give is shared with insurance agents and companies that intend to quote you, and that it works with over 160 insurers and over 7,000 agents1.
SmartFinancial describes a similar model: one form compared across carriers, licensed insurance concierges by phone, and connections to local agents and carriers2.
What this means for you. Expect calls and emails soon after you submit. Read the consent text above the submit button: it says who may contact you and how. If you would rather not be called, get quotes directly on two or three insurers' own sites instead.

About this page
CoverPlainly is also not an insurance agent, does not sell insurance or collect your details, and does not cover Medicare. Nothing here is insurance advice.
Prices, coverage and terms belong to each company and can change. The company's own page and your policy are the final word; the insurer decides every application.
