Health Insurance Questions? Start Here.
Health insurance is one of the few things you buy where the price, the rules, and even the enrollment deadlines change every year — and most of the explanations online are written to sell you something, not to help you understand.
This Knowledge Center is different. It’s written by the licensed Florida agents in our Lake Mary office. Browse a topic below, get the plain-English version, and when you’re ready to review how available options line up with your doctors, income, and county, call us. There’s no additional agency fee for that call.

Explore →The Questions Floridians Ask Us Most
Click a question to read the full guide — or skip the reading and call. Either way, our licensed Florida team can help.
Do I qualify for a subsidy — and how much?
Premium tax credits are based on household income and size. Marketplace premium tax credits may reduce premiums for eligible households. Eligibility and amounts are officially determined by the Marketplace.
ACA Marketplace guide →Medicare Advantage or a Supplement — which is right for me?
It depends on how often you see doctors, which doctors you see, and how much cost predictability you want. There is no universal answer.
Medicare guide →What’s the difference between BlueOptions, BlueCare, and BlueSelect?
Florida Blue runs three very different networks. Provider networks differ by plan, and participation can change. Review the carrier’s current directory and confirm participation directly with the provider and carrier.
Florida Blue guide →I’m 1099 — what are my real coverage options?
Self-employed Floridians often have Marketplace options worth comparing. Depending on the taxpayer’s circumstances and applicable tax rules, certain health insurance premiums may be deductible; consult a qualified tax professional.

Insurance Advisors of Florida does not charge an additional agency fee for its assistance. Premiums and plan costs are determined by the carrier and, when applicable, Marketplace eligibility information. We help review subsidy eligibility information, compare available plans in your county, help review provider directories and drug formularies, and remain your point of contact after enrollment.
Plan rules, subsidy amounts, and out-of-pocket limits change every plan year. We update these guides for each plan year. For the 2027 plan year, the federal maximum annual limitation on cost sharing is $12,000 for self-only coverage and $24,000 for coverage other than self-only, although many plans have lower limits. If something looks different from what you’ve read elsewhere, call and we’ll clarify with the current rules.
Yes — that’s exactly what a call is for. Guides explain how things work in general; on the phone we help review provider directories and drug formularies for your specific doctors and prescriptions, discuss your income situation, and compare the plans actually available in your Florida county — and you should confirm current participation and coverage directly with the provider, pharmacy, and carrier.
Call us. If you’re wondering about it, other Floridians are too — our licensed Florida team can help address it, and commonly asked questions may help shape future guides. You can also use the form at the top of this page and a licensed Florida agent will follow up during business hours.
