Be wary of telemarketers from the \u201cNational Enrollment Center,\u201d \u201cNational Healthcare Center,\u201d or other official-sounding names.<\/li>\n<li>Never provide bank account or health information or agree to any request to send money over the phone. If you are being pressured to provide this information, hang up.<\/li>\n<li>Purchase insurance only from a licensed agent. Ask agents for their license number and verify licensure by calling the Department or visiting the website,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.doi.idaho.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.doi.idaho.gov<\/a>.
