Trusted by Tampa Bay employers
“Our team was frustrated with surprise out-of-pocket costs and long delays getting approvals. Eddie took the time to understand what wasn't working for us. He moved our whole team to Florida Blue PPO plans, with a lower and a higher option to choose from. Since the switch, everything has run smoothly.”
Crystal Bond, Office Manager, Lifetime Family and Beauty“We had never offered health insurance before and didn't know where to start. We found Eddie through his great online reviews. He walked us through every option, from private plans to the Marketplace to a group plan, and never pushed. We chose a group plan so our team has good coverage as we keep growing.”

The questions most brokers avoid.
How do you get paid?
Usually by the insurance carrier, through a commission that is already part of your premium, so most employers pay nothing extra for my service. If you prefer a flat consulting fee instead, we can set that up. Either way, I'll show you exactly how it works.
Will switching brokers disrupt our plan?
No. You sign a short broker-of-record letter and service moves to me. Your plan, ID cards and doctors stay the same until you decide to change something.
We're a small company. Is it worth it?
Yes. Many carriers offer group plans for very small teams, and small employers are who I work with most. You get the same renewal shopping and service a bigger company gets.
What's the difference between fully insured and level-funded?
With fully insured, you pay a fixed premium and the carrier carries the risk. With level-funded, you pay a steady monthly amount and may get money back if your group's claims are low. I'll show you both side by side when it makes sense for your team.

Hi, I'm Eddie Solís.
I've worked in insurance since 2005. I started at a brokerage in Quito, advised corporate clients at Tecniseguros (Marsh's representative in Ecuador), and spent seven years at Seguros del Pichincha, a life insurer in Ecuador, rising from underwriting to head of broker sales. Then I joined Aon as a regional Commercial Manager and founded my own agency. I moved to Tampa Bay in 2018.
Since 2022 I've run Benefits Insurance Agency, where I help Tampa Bay employers build benefits their people value. I serve on the Board of Directors of NABIP Tampa Bay as Sponsorship Director. I'm independent, so I work for your company, not for one insurance carrier.
