Life Insurance
Life insurance is a crucial step in planning for your future and your family’s future. It can fulfill promises and obligations to your family if you are no longer living.
The death benefit is income-tax free and can be used to cover funeral expenses, repay debt, provide education, and pay estate taxes or any other expenses your survivors may incur.
Life insurance may also be used to help ensure that a family business will pass to your intended survivor. There are also benefits to certain types of life insurance plans during your lifetime.
Health Insurance
Health care costs are high and getting higher. Who will pay your bills if you have a serious accident or a major illness? With health insurance, you protect yourself and your family in case you need medical care that has the potential to be very expensive. There are several different types of individual health insurance. You can get fee-for-service, HMO or PPO plans, but you should know the differences and coverage limitations before making any purchase decision.
Policies differ widely in coverage and cost. Your agent will shop various policies to find the best one for you. He will make sure the policy protects you from large medical costs and does not contain any hidden exclusions or stipulations that you do not understand at the outset.
There are many types of supplemental insurance and that is why it is important to talk to a insurance representative to discuss your options. Original Medicare doesn't cover all the hospital, medical and prescription drug expenses. There are deductibles, copayments and coinsurance you must pay when you receive health care services. Without additional coverage, your out of pocket cost can add up quickly. There are also coverages that a supplemental plan will cover which are not included under original Medicare.
