Health Insurance Broker Serving Lakeland, Florida
Lakeland and Polk County run on logistics, agriculture and small business, and a huge share of that work is 1099 or owner-operated. We help people along the I-4 corridor get covered with plans that work whether they are home in Lakeland or on the road.
Who we help in Lakeland
We work with owner-operator truck drivers and warehouse contractors around the I-4 distribution hubs, citrus and cattle families, Publix-area small businesses, Plant City farm and strawberry operations, and tradespeople who work all over central Florida. Most are comparing a private, medically underwritten PPO against a marketplace plan for the first time, and most have never had both prices side by side.
Local hospitals and networks
Polk County marketplace plans are heavily weighted to one hospital system. If you drive for a living or your family splits time between Lakeland and Tampa, a national PPO avoids the county-network problem entirely.

- BayCare Winter Haven Hospital

Private plan or marketplace plan?
If your household qualifies for a subsidy or someone has a serious condition, the marketplace is usually the answer and we enroll you there at no cost. If you are healthy and above the subsidy range, a private PPO priced on your health instead of your income usually costs less and includes the hospitals above. We show you both numbers and tell you which one we would pick.

Lakeland questions
I'm an owner-operator based in Lakeland. Will my plan work on the road?
A private PPO with a national network will. Marketplace HMOs are tied to Polk County and only cover emergencies elsewhere. See our truck driver guide.
Is Lakeland Regional in network?
On most private PPO plans, yes. On marketplace plans it varies. We verify before you enroll.
Do you help farm families with seasonal income?
Yes. Seasonal Schedule F income changes the subsidy math, and we walk through it with you.

Reviews
Real words from real families we've helped.
Frank is absolutely great to work with! He is knowledgeable, professional and most of all, patient! He recently helped me on figuring out a policy that would fit my needs on what I was looking for. He responded back to me in a timely manner and was the kindest person and very polite. Would highly recommend him for your insurance needs.
I spent hours on the Marketplace until Frank messaged me. I was skeptical at first but I couldn't be more wrong. Frank and his wife found the perfect medical plan for me despite the fact I'm self employed, and made the process so easy with his guidance the whole way. He knows the system inside and out. Highly recommend.
Excelente el señor Frank Caballero. Amable, muy profesional, muy entregado a sus clientes. Muchas gracias por tu servicio de calidad, si le pudiera dar 10 estrellas se las daría. ¡Gracias!
Frank has been amazing to work with. He is always available to answer my questions. As a self employed person in my 60s good insurance at a reasonable rate has been a challenge, but he found me a policy that has been great. I have already recommended him to friends and colleagues.
Would highly recommend him for all my friends and family.
He listened to my issues and concerns and explained my options thoroughly.
