Frequently Asked Questions About Life and Health Insurance Agent in Miami
The questions our Little Havana and Kendall offices hear most this year. Tap any question to expand it — or call +1-540-352-6249 and ask us directly.
How much does it cost to work with a Life and Health Insurance agent in Miami?
Nothing — every consultation, quote, policy review and enrollment is 100% free with no obligation and no cost to you. Our agents are compensated directly by the insurance carriers, so the premium you pay is exactly the same whether you enroll through us or apply on your own. You simply get comparison shopping and advocacy at no extra charge.
How fast can I get a life insurance quote in Miami?
Most term life quotes are delivered the same business day, frequently within 45 minutes of your call to +1-540-352-6249. Final expense and guaranteed issue policies can be approved and issued in as little as 24 to 48 hours, while fully underwritten term policies typically take 2 to 4 weeks including the medical exam.
Do you speak Spanish or Haitian Creole?
Sí — and wi. Our Little Havana office staffs bilingual agents and support team members in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole, and our monthly Medicare workshop (first Wednesday at 10:00 AM) is delivered in both English and Spanish. All policy documents can be explained line by line in the language you are most comfortable with.
How much life insurance do Miami families usually need?
Most Miami-Dade households we serve choose between $250,000 and $1,000,000 in term coverage — roughly 10 to 20 times annual income plus the remaining mortgage balance. As a real benchmark, a healthy 30-year-old can typically secure $250,000 of 20-year term coverage for about $18 to $24 per month.
Can you help me enroll in Medicare Advantage or Medigap in Miami-Dade?
Absolutely. We are AHIP Medicare certified and CMS compliant, and we represent Florida Blue, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna and Simply Healthcare among others. Many 2026 Medicare Advantage plans in Miami-Dade carry a $0 monthly premium, while Medigap Plan G typically ranges from $115 to $210 per month depending on your age and tobacco use.
What if my health history makes me uninsurable?
We keep guaranteed issue and simplified issue options specifically for ages 50 to 85 with no medical exam and no health questions. We also shop Mutual of Omaha, Foresters, Americo, Gerber Life and Transamerica to identify the carrier most likely to approve your exact condition — diabetes, COPD, heart history or prior cancer included.
Do you offer same-day or emergency help?
Yes. Claim emergencies, hospital admissions and urgent Medicare Part D pharmacy problems are handled the same day you call. We also guarantee a response to every quote request or client question within 24 hours, and during Medicare AEP and ACA Open Enrollment we hold evening video appointments Monday through Thursday until 8:00 PM.
How are you different from buying insurance online?
Online portals generally sell one carrier's product. We are an independent agency appointed with more than 18 carriers, so we compare rates side by side and show you the math. You also get a named licensed agent, a free annual policy review, and claims advocacy — we handle the carrier calls and paperwork for your beneficiaries at claim time.
How long does approval and policy delivery take?
No-exam final expense and guaranteed issue policies typically issue in 24 to 72 hours. Term life with full underwriting averages 2 to 4 weeks, and accelerated underwriting programs can complete in 5 to 10 business days. You receive your policy documents electronically within hours of issuance and paper copies by mail.
Can you insure self-employed and 1099 workers in Miami?
That is one of our specialties. Gig drivers, restaurant and hospitality staff, salon professionals and construction workers without employer benefits make up a large share of the 2,000+ clients we have served since 2011. We also build small group employee benefit packages for Miami businesses with 5 to 50 employees.
What is the difference between term life and whole life insurance?
Term life covers you for a set period — 10, 15, 20 or 30 years — and delivers the lowest cost per dollar of protection, which makes it ideal for mortgages and child-raising years. Whole life and Indexed Universal Life last your entire lifetime and build cash value you can borrow against. We show both side by side before you choose.
Is there any obligation to buy during my first appointment?
Never. Our no-pressure promise means no client is asked to commit during the first appointment. We teach you how underwriting classes, ACA premium tax credits and Medicare election periods actually work, then send you home with a written proposal so you can decide on your own timeline — with no follow-up pressure.
