Direct answer
Market access means comparing multiple carrier appetites and forms to find fit in price and coverage.
Why it changes price
- Different carriers price the same risk differently because appetite and tiering vary.
- Policy forms and endorsements differ, so “cheaper” can be a structural change, not better pricing.
- True shopping is comparing like-for-like coverage across carriers that want your profile.
Decision rule
If pricing is an appetite mismatch, use independent market access; if not, adjust structure first.
