No. Consultations, quotes, needs analysis, applications, and annual policy reviews are all free to you. Our agents are paid commissions directly by the insurance carriers, and there are no broker fees, no mark-up on premiums, and no monthly service charges. You pay the same premium you would pay buying direct from the carrier — you just get comparison shopping and claim help on top of it.

As an estimate that requires a personalized quote: a healthy 35-year-old commonly pays about $18–$25 per month for $250,000 of 20-year term coverage. Final expense and burial policies typically run $35–$90 per month depending on age and health. Permanent whole life and indexed universal life cost significantly more per dollar of coverage. Health history, tobacco use, and coverage amount move the rate more than anything else.

As a licensed Life and Health Insurance agent we collect only the personal information needed to quote and underwrite coverage — name, address, date of birth, health history, and prescription information. We do not sell your data. Information is shared only with the carriers you authorize us to shop, and each carrier issues its own HIPAA notice. You may request a copy of our full written privacy policy at any time by calling +1-540-352-6249 or emailing hello@cypressridgelifehealth.com.

ACA Marketplace applications submitted during Open Enrollment or a qualifying Special Enrollment Period can often be effective the first of the following month. Short-term medical plans can start in as little as 24–48 hours. Term life insurance with a no-medical-exam option can be approved in 24–72 hours, while fully underwritten policies typically take 2–4 weeks including the medical exam. During Medicare Annual Enrollment (Oct 15 – Dec 7) we run extended hours to move faster.

No — we are an independent agency with more than 25 carrier appointments. That means we can place your coverage with the carrier that fits your health, budget, and doctors rather than the one that pays us the most. If you already own a policy from another agency, our free 15-minute policy review will tell you honestly whether you are overpaying or under-covered. Read more on our about page.

Cypress Ridge Life & Health Insurance operates under Florida Department of Financial Services Life & Health Agent License #W284917. All Medicare-writing agents are AHIP certified annually, including Fraud, Waste & Abuse training. Our team is ACA Marketplace certified through HealthCare.gov (FFM) every plan year, and we are members of NAIFA and the Florida Association of Insurance Agents. Every agent is background-checked, bonded, and covered by E&O insurance.

Claims support is a written part of what we promise. Your assigned agent personally helps you file the claim, gather documentation, and follow up with the carrier — you are not routed to a 1-800 call center. For life insurance claims we typically need a certified death certificate and a completed claimant statement; we will walk you through both. Most final expense claims we handle are paid within 2–6 weeks once paperwork is complete.

Yes. We offer evening and in-home appointments Monday through Thursday until 8:00 PM, and Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM by request. Virtual appointments are available statewide in Florida via Zoom or phone. Walk-ins are welcome at 1214 E. Robinson Street, Suite 210, Orlando, FL 32801, though appointments are preferred so a licensed agent is dedicated to you.

If a new policy we place for you turns out not to be the right fit within 30 days of issue, we will re-shop it across our carrier appointments at no cost to you. Separately, Florida law gives you a free-look period on most products — typically 10 to 30 days depending on the policy type — during which you can cancel for a full refund of premium. Both protections are explained in writing before you sign anything.

Yes. We have bilingual staff fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and we serve many households throughout Orlando, Kissimmee, and Celebration. Our alternate Spanish-language line is +1-407-555-0187, and we also run financial literacy workshops with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Orlando. Documents and policy explanations can be reviewed in your preferred language.

Yes. We write small-group health benefits for businesses with 2–50 employees, plus dental, vision, critical illness, accident, hospital indemnity, and disability income coverage. Owners with 2–50 employees receive a complimentary benefits benchmark report comparing their current group plan against three alternatives. We also handle key-person coverage and buy-sell funding for partnerships. See our small business benefits page.
