Why work with a broker licensed in Florida
Insurance is regulated state by state, and an agent can only legally advise and enroll you if they hold a license in the state where you live. That rule protects you—it means the person recommending a plan actually knows Florida’s carriers, networks, and marketplace rules rather than guessing from out of state.
Liam is personally licensed in Florida, so working with Transparent Benefit Solutions in Manatee County, FL is fully compliant—and because I’m independent, I compare plans across every carrier available to you instead of pushing one company’s products. My help is free; the carriers pay the commission, and your premium is identical either way.

Manatee County insurance questions
No. As an independent broker I’m paid by the insurance carriers, not by you, so my help in Manatee County, FL is free. Your premium is the same whether you enroll with me or on your own—you just get someone in your corner.
Florida uses the Federal Marketplace (HealthCare.gov) (HealthCare.gov). I help Manatee County residents enroll through it, confirm subsidy eligibility, and pick a plan whose network actually includes their providers.
Open Enrollment for Florida runs November 1 – January 15. Outside that window you can still enroll if you have a qualifying life event—losing job coverage, moving, marriage, or a new baby—and I can confirm whether you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.
Absolutely—that’s a big part of who I work with in Manatee County, FL. I’ll walk you through Marketplace subsidies based on your estimated net income, plus life and disability options that replace the employer benefits you don’t have.
You call me—not a 1-800 menu. As your broker in Manatee County, FL I stay your point of contact after you enroll, so if a claim is denied, a bill looks wrong, or your plan changes at renewal, you have someone who already knows your situation and can help sort it out.
