Frequently Asked Questions About Life and Health Insurance agent in Miami
How much does it cost to work with an insurance agent in Miami?
Nothing. Our consultations, quotes, policy reviews, ACA subsidy calculations and Medicare
enrollment help are all 100% free with no obligation. Insurance carriers pay our commission,
so the premium you pay through us is identical to buying directly from the company — you
simply get a licensed advocate at no extra cost. There are no fees, no service charges and
no cancellation penalties from our agency.
How quickly can I get a life insurance quote and get covered?
Most health and Medicare quotes are ready the same day you call. Term life quotes take about
15 minutes. Fully underwritten policies typically issue in 2 to 4 weeks after the exam, and
simplified-issue or no-exam products can be approved in as little as 24 to 48 hours. We
respond to every quote request within 24 hours — and usually within 2 hours during office
hours.
Which insurance carriers do you represent in Miami?
For health and Medicare we are appointed with Florida Blue, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Aetna,
Cigna, Ambetter, Molina Healthcare, Oscar Health, Doctor's Health Plan and Simply Healthcare.
For life insurance we work with Mutual of Omaha, Foresters Financial, Americo, John Hancock,
Transamerica, North American, Nationwide and Gerber Life. Because we're independent, we can
compare all of them side by side before recommending anything.
Do you offer bilingual service in Spanish or Haitian Creole?
Yes. Our team of 8 licensed agents and 3 support staff provides full service in English,
Spanish and Haitian Creole, by phone or in person. Both of our Miami offices — Little Havana
and Kendall — are staffed bilingually, and all policy documents can be explained in your
preferred language before you sign anything.
Can I get life insurance if I have diabetes, high blood pressure or a prior illness?
In many cases, yes. Carriers treat controlled conditions very differently, and our job is to
match your specific health profile to the most lenient underwriter. We routinely place
clients with controlled diabetes, hypertension and prior cardiac events. If traditional
underwriting won't approve you, guaranteed-issue final expense coverage (ages 50–85) requires
no health questions and no medical exam.
What is the difference between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement?
Medicare Advantage (Part C) replaces Original Medicare with a private network plan — many in
Miami-Dade have a $0 monthly premium, but you generally stay in network and pay copays for
services. Medicare Supplement (Medigap) pays alongside Original Medicare with far fewer
network restrictions, but you pay a monthly premium — Plan G typically runs $115–$210 in
Miami-Dade depending on your age. We compare both options against your doctors and
prescriptions before you decide.
Do I qualify for ACA subsidies or a $0-premium health plan in Miami?
Most Miami-Dade households we enroll do qualify for premium tax credits. Subsidy amounts are
based on household income and family size, and many of our clients end up paying under $50
per month after credits are applied. We also help families enroll in Florida KidCare for
children at no cost. There is no charge for checking your eligibility — call
+1-540-352-6249.
What happens if I need to file a claim? Do you help?
Yes — claims advocacy is included with every policy we place. Our staff calls the carrier,
submits the paperwork and follows up on your behalf. In a recent Miami-Dade final expense
claim, we filed the documentation ourselves and the $150,000 benefit reached the beneficiary
in 11 business days. You will never be handed a phone number and left to figure it out alone.
Can you review a policy I already own from another agency?
Absolutely, and it's free. Our no-obligation policy review covers life, health and Medicare
plans you bought elsewhere. We look for coverage gaps, duplicate policies, outdated
beneficiaries, and cheaper equivalents from our 18 appointed carriers. If your current policy
is genuinely better, we'll tell you to keep it — that honesty is why our clients stay for
decades.
Do small businesses in Miami need to offer group health benefits?
Businesses with 50 or more full-time employees must offer affordable coverage under the
employer mandate, but even smaller Miami businesses — restaurants, salons, construction
crews — benefit enormously from group plans. We build packages for teams of 5 to 50 covering
medical, dental and disability. One Little Havana restaurant client saved $16,800 per year
compared to their prior broker's renewal.
How do I know your agency is properly licensed and credentialed?
Our agency holds Florida Department of Financial Services licenses 2-15 (Life, Health &
Annuity) and 2-40 (Health). Our Medicare agents complete AHIP certification plus Fraud,
Waste & Abuse training annually, and all marketing is CMS-compliant. We are NABIP members
and have been A+ Better Business Bureau accredited since 2015, with a 4.9-star Google rating
across more than 300 reviews.
Do you offer appointments outside normal business hours?
Yes. We're open Monday–Friday 8:30 AM–6:30 PM and Saturdays 9:00 AM–2:00 PM by appointment.
During Medicare Annual Enrollment (October 15 – December 7) and ACA Open Enrollment
(November 1 – January 15) we add evening video appointments until 8:00 PM Monday through
Thursday. Home visits are available throughout Miami-Dade for clients who prefer to meet in
person.
