Idaho Insurance Department Says To Be Cautious Of Annuity Tax-Break Offers

Dec. 22--Be cautious about handing over ownership of annuities or buying charitable-gift annuities to get year-end tax breaks, the Idaho Department of Insurance warned Thursday.

"The latest year-end tax-saving promise asks consumers to sign over annuities to an out-of-state organization in order to receive a tax break in return," said Bill Deal, department director. "If your family, tax advisor or attorney, as well as your insurance agent, haven't heard of this great deal, something may be wrong."

Some annuity exchange- and charitable-type products that are offered outside the Idaho department's authority could lack consumer protections that the department has in place.

Established annuity transfer programs like those offered by colleges and universities are probably safe, but Idahoans should still talk to a financial adviser about them and do their homework before making a decision, the department said.

Consumers with questions should call 334-4250 in the Boise area and (800) 721-3272 throughout the state.

Idaho Health Insurance - Exchange?

2011-12-20T06:23:00.001-07:00

With the new health insurance mandated law coming up soon, we are starting to see some of the particulars trickle out and down. Something that really bothers me is we have a whole group of companies and agents that could be looking for work. At least drastically changing their business model to survive.

Officials struggle to define navigator role in health exchange

If the 2012 Legislature approves of creation of a state-based health exchange – an online portal for purchasing medical insurance – officials will have a number of decisions to make concerning its operation and funding.

Navigators will serve essentially as public information officers for the exchange. They are tasked with conducting outreach and education campaigns, particularly in more rural parts of the state. They must provide impartial information about health plans offered by the exchange and should also have some existing relationships that would help in conducting job duties.

House Minority Leader John Rusche, D-Lewiston, told IdahoReporter.com Friday that payments might come in the form of hourly wages or fee-for-service agreements between the state and navigators, though he says the final determination has yet to be made. “I have no idea how the payment structure will be,” Rusche said. “But, I doubt it will be a commission.”

LANDLORDS - Homeowners Insurance Boise Idaho

Landlords Policies are great policies for those of you that own rental or investment properties. They don’t have as much personal property protection built into the policy usually so they can be much more affordable than a typicaly homeowners insurance type of policy.

If you do put a Landlords policy into effect you should really think about having your tenants carry their own Renters Insurance Policy to cover their own personal belongings.

You could also add a Personal Umbrella Policy which would give you an additional $1,000,000 or more possibly in liability protection piece of mind. We can also provide Renters information for any of your clients that might have need.

Life Insurance, the insurance that no one needs until they need it! Take it from me at least look into Term Life Insurance as a temporary fix for the coverage if you don't have the budget for a permanent type of plan. Because once you have a major health event or if the unthinkable happens the first thing you'll say is "why didn't we have life insurance in place"!!!

You want to protect what matters most in your life: your loved ones. With life insurance, you help to ensure that the financial needs of your family are met in the event of your death. This means peace of mind for you now, knowing your family will be secure in the future.

Who Needs Life Insurance?
You need a life insurance policy if anyone depends on your income or stands to inherit a financial burden in the event of your death.

How Much Insurance Do You Need?
This depends on a few factors. Generally, the rule of thumb is 7 times your salary; however, as life changes, your insurance needs might, too. It’s a good idea to reassess your needs annually to make sure you have enough to properly protect your family.

Beyond protection, life insurance can be the cornerstone of your family’s financial security by providing savings and wealth transfer opportunities. In fact, the very first step in selecting life insurance is to decide how you want the insurance to work for your family.

Idaho needs decision on insurance exchange

Will the health insurance exchange help Idahoans?

No, said Rep. Gary Collins, R-Nampa, and co-chair of the task
force. Democratic Minority Leader Rep. John Rusche of Lewiston
disagrees.

But the insurance exchange will make it easier for people to find
health insurance that “matches (their) ability to pay,” Rusche
said.

BOISE — Gov. Butch Otter and high-ranking state officials warned
Idaho lawmakers Monday that to let the federal government run the
state’s mandated health insurance exchange would hurt the state and
its residents.

The new federal Affordable Health Care Act requires states to
create and implement health insurance exchanges or the federal
government will do it for them. Idaho has until Sept. 30 to apply
for a $40 million federal grant to establish a state-run
exchange.

Smokers and Tobacco users Term Life Insurance Plans and Policies

2011-01-28T09:23:00.001-07:00

Tobacco Life Insurance Plans

Are you a Tobacco user or if you smoke and are searching for the best priced and affordable term life insurance you will find some great tips in my article. Life Insurance actuaries could rate up the premium by 50% if you are a Smoker or tobacco user in some respect.

Typically if you smoke or use tobacco the life carriers will require you to not have used any form of tobacco for a year or more to get the best rates. If you have smoked within a year that would typically be a Standard or Standard Plus Non Tobacco rating. Two to three years with no tobacco and it is quite possible to obtain non Tobacco User ratings on your policy, which will save you a great deal of money.After five or more years with no tobacco and all other health qualifies you may get the very best rate class available from the life companies.

Here is a sample of potential rate categories for smoking and life insurance:

No Tobacco three years or more - Potential Preferred Quote:
No Nicotine 2 plus years - May qualify for Standard Plus Rates:
No cigarettes or tobacco 1 year or more: potential Standard Rate Class:

How this affects you is by how much money you eventually end up paying for your insurance policy premiums and rates. Now if you still smoke well then you will simply have to qualify as a Smoker. But if you do not plan on quiting or have quit you will have to just end up paying the Smoker Rates on your new plan. Ask yourself if the smoking is worth it while you are paying higher premiums.

On a positive note you should realize that term life insurance prices are at their lowest levels in years due to mortality tables of people living longer and modern medicine. No one likes to pay premiums on any kind of insurance I imagine so when you have this over and done with I'm sure you will have a weight lifted and you can move on to more productive items in your life.

Your first action is to now find a highly qualified life agent or broker to help you find the best policy. Make sure you ask your agent how many life insurance carriers they represent. Your agent really should be appointed and ready to write business with a number of the top life carriers if not find another agent. Ask them if they work with a BGA (Brokerage General Agency) that has a multi-carrier platform. It's potential to get some weird vibes from your broker now because they know now you know what your talking about. Another avenue is to speak with multiple brokers or agents and get multiple quotes from each one of them.

Deciding on the right company to apply with might come down to which carrier offers the least expensive premiums for your desired face amount. Buy as much as you need and can afford since term life is the cheapest coverage to start with initially.

Good take on why there are differences in the rates on term life insurance premiums.

Amplify’d from www.unterderbruecke.org

Why do term life insurance rates vary so much?

When you decide its finally time to buy that life insurance policy you may notice how much the term life insurance rate may vary from company to company. This is due to that the carriers adjust and change rates on a regular basis. The carriers are always competing with each other and lowering rates. Mortality tables have been extended so rates have come down over the last few years and they will be increased as well to add extra profits for the carriers. This is why it is recommended that you shop your coverage to obtain they very best rates and quotes. These days you can simply log in online and get rates from multiple online agencies.

Reserves in the Life Insurance Industry

2009-10-11T19:11:00.001-06:00

With so much that has happened over the last year in the financial markets people are very apprehensive about many financial institutions. The great thing about Insurance is they are required to has reserves to make sure they can pay the claims of their policyholders. Read the explanation below that helps explain why Insurance has other built in protections as opposed to other industries.

The reserve in a life insurance contract of policy is the amount of money needed to offset the difference between the present value of future benefits and the present value of future net level premiums. Ya I know a little confusing? So at the beginning of to policy the two are equal because of the actuarially pricing that makes them equal to each other.

Once you start paying premiums into the policy though, the present value of future net level premiums starts to decline, then the present value of future benefits starts to increase. The difference between the two amounts then equates to equal the reserve.

Hepatitis C
Life Insurance

Hep C Life Insurance or Hepatitis C is the
inflammation of the liver due to a virus infection called
the HCV virus.
Before the virus is detected they call this Hepatitis A and
Hepatitis B.
Hep C is a fairly common infection with
approximately 6% of the U.S. population affected with
the ailment.

A good percentage sometimes as high as 15% can
and will have a spontaneous recovery from the infection
and no virus found in their blood. But the remaining could
have or end up with chronic hepatitis. One of the bigger
life insurance
underwriting concerns is that chronic Hep C can lead
to cirrhosis and eventually lead to liver cancer in
the future.
This is why Hepatitis C can and in the chronic cases will
lead to most likely a decline when it comes to life
insurance underwriting. In order for the underwriters to
even consider the insured for Life Insurance they must
either have a mild case or have been cured from the
infection.

If you are a smoker or tobacco product user and looking for a life insurance policy then you should be prepared for the fact that your premiums will be higher. Smokers Life Insurance plans are simply higher due to the fact that their life expectancy is shorter than those that don't use tobacco products. Below is a great article talking about these points and what to expect as far as tobacco life insurance premiums and rates.

Smoker? Ex Smoker? How Smoking Can Affect Your Life Insurance Premiums

If you smoke, the likelihood of dying from smoking-related causes rises dramatically. Therefore, life insurance companies typically charge smokers higher rates than non smokers. This is to compensate them for the additional risk they incur when extending a policy to a smoker.

Because smoking can have such a significant impact on a policyholder’s health, insurance companies use an assortment of classifications for smokers. These classifications are based upon the amount of time that has elapsed since the policyholder last smoked. A “preferred plus” policyholder is a person that has not smoked for 5 years or longer. For those who have avoided smoking for at least 3 years, they’re awarded a “preferred” status. Lastly, a “standard” designation is typically given to a policyholder that has not smoked for at least 12 months.

How to get cash out of your Life Insurance Policy

2009-06-25T14:46:00.001-06:00

If you are terminally ill and own a Life Insurance policy there are options for you to access some of the cash value or accelerate the death benefit. These options must be reviewed with a qualified advisor that knows your current situation.

clipped from www.elderlawanswers.com

Getting Cash From a Life Insurance Policy If You Are Terminally Ill

Unfortunately, a diagnosis of a terminal illness often comes with many expenses. If you need money to pay for your medical care or comfort, you may be able to use your life insurance policy to get some immediate cash. "Viatical settlements" allow terminally ill individuals to sell their life insurance policies. Alternatively, some insurance companies allow you to receive an accelerated death benefit.

A company will usually pay more than the cash surrender value, but less than the death benefit, although the exact price depends on a number of factors. In determining price, companies look at your life expectancy, how long you have had the policy, and the face value of the policy, among other things.

Both viatical settlements and accelerated death benefits could have tax consequences and affect Medicaid planning. Before taking either option, you should consult with a qualified elder attorney.

Why get life insurance

In this article, I’m going to go over the reasons behind getting life insurance, but will not get into specific types; I’m saving that for upcoming articles deliberately to not steal the shine away from the underlying reason for purchasing it.

Life insurance is primarily purchased to provide those you care about financial protection, should you pass away. Some use it to cover estate taxes or business dealings, but in this particular article, I will focus on ordinary family needs.

Who is a candidate for life insurance? Anyone who wants to sleep better at night knowing their loved ones won’t suffer financial hardship while grieving the loss of someone they cared about. It makes a bad situation more manageable, and that is the best we can do, since we can’t change reality.

It's how you make sure your family is secure, and your assets end up where you want them. It's taking care of your family, your business – whatever is important to you.

Proper estate planning, whether through a will or some other vehicle, will make sure you, and not the state, decide where and how your assets are distributed after your death. Life insurance can give you options that make your planning an easier process. There are two basic ways in which life insurance can assist in your estate planning:

There are more advanced uses of life insurance, many of which are geared toward business owners. Some of those examples follow:

Credit Enhancement – Life insurance is often used to stabilize a business concern's financial position and serves as a valuable asset to pledge as collateral.

AIG's Reputation and Brand Tarnished beyond repair

2009-03-26T07:05:00.001-06:00

Image by Mike Licht, NotionsCapital.com via Flickr

In the Insurance world your image and brand is just as important as the financial stability and claims paying ability of the carrier. AIG Insurance Company and their brand has been so tarnished from their eventual collapse to Executive retreat's trips and now bonuses, it will be a miracle if the company can recover and ever sell off it's assets to repay the American public.

Read the New York Times article...

A.I.G.’s Essential Asset, Its Brand, Is Tarnished - NYTimes.com

The government’s fourth round of assistance to the American International Group this month was a play for time — for languishing markets to rebound, for pockets to fill up again and for buyers to emerge for the sturdy insurance companies under A.I.G.’s tattered corporate umbrella.

Only when those insurance companies are sold will there be money to repay American taxpayers.
But after the latest uproar, time does not look like A.I.G.’s friend. The problem now is not a toxic spiral of derivatives like the one that crippled the company last fall, but the damage done to A.I.G.’s brand, first by the financial troubles and then by the recent wave of hearings, subpoenas, late-night television jokes and even a bus tour past executives’ homes.

“Why would we do business with a company that’s constantly in the news, even if the ratings are still supposedly O.K.?” wondered Greg Theis, a financial planner with Legacy Investment Services in Homer Glen, Ill. He helps 55-to-70-year-olds select variable annuities from a bewildering array of carriers.

Let's hope that we can at least end up getting a part of our tax money back from the sale of the companies assets. The Life Insurance Division of AIG is at least strong and should be able to be sold off for a nice chunk of change.

West Coast Term Life Insurance Product Portfolio

2009-02-26T13:21:00.001-07:00

In the mix and mire of which term life insurance carrier you should use or work with in obtaining this vastly important insurance there are few companies that stand out. West Coast Life is one of those few carriers that strive to deliver top notch products and customer service to their insureds and brokers. West Coast Life is a leading provider of Term Life Insurance to consumers in the country. They have continually striven to bring affordable products to the market place, especially within their term life portfolio.

West Coast Life Insurance Product Portfolio:

Term Life Insurance is the primary product we use from West Coast, they have a couple of different series within the product line:
Focus Guaranteed Level Term Series
Golden Legacy Term
Income Replacement Term Series
Universal Life:
LifeTime Advantage Plus
LifeTime Platinum III
Lifetime Platinum III Plus
We have worked with this Carrier for a number of years and we do find them to be a very high quality company to write business with and for customer service. West Coast does not write business direct which means you will have to find an independent agent or life insurance broker to sell you a policy. That will not be difficult you can actually call West Coast and they will send you to a local General Agency to try and help you with your insurance needs.

In later post's I will get more in depth about the product and how to get the very best rates out of this or any other carrier.

Underwriting Guide to Substandard Impaired Risk Term Life Insurance - Story | Get More Stories at Quizilla

Substandard Impaired Risk Life Insurance is an business term used to
characterize insureds that do not qualify for standard or better rate
classes. The insurance carriers have rate class parameters where they
underwrite then place the potential insured in, then the premiums are
calculated. So if you are a preferred or preferred best rate class then
your rates will be cheaper than someones who is a standard or
substandard rate class.

Diabetes Life Insurance
is a very common type of substandard life case. The key with this
health issue for the underwriters is they really like to see good
control and compliance of the health issues. Cancer probably is one of
the most common types of substandard impaired risk issues, in which the
underwriters will want to see a evidence of remission and no re
occurrence. With all the numerous health issues that could affect
underwriting make a note the more your agent knows up front the better
the underwriters can make a decision. The more information the better
and the quicker you should go through underwriting.
Smoker term life insurance plans get dinged up front for the tobacco use then if combined with other health issues the rate can come back even worse.

The role of Life Insurance in Tough Economc Times

It's an interesting thing that happens when the economic market goes down, sales of fixed and permanent life insurance seem to rise.

Raleigh Financial Adviser W. Landon Watts Believes Life Insurance is Crucial
As job losses continue to mount—more than 72,000 in North Carolina between November 2007 and November 2008 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics—people are facing increased debt and decreased value in assets such as homes, retirement plans and investment plans. This could lead to a large financial burden should the main income earner pass away.
“The short-term savings that a family may gain by canceling a life insurance policy are nothing compared to the financial loss a family would incur if there was a premature death,” says Watts. “Also, the costs to purchase a new policy may increase significantly.”
“Life insurance is often overlooked as the core of a solid financial plan,” says Watts. “Having a good policy in place will ensure that your family is protected financially, and it will provide them proper time to grieve and heal.”

Reduce The Cost Of Getting Life Insurance

2009-01-15T00:09:00.001-07:00

When it comes to life insurance many people want to provide their loved ones with the peace of mind that they will have financial stability once they are gone, but they do not want to pay over the odds for their life cover, as this leaves them with less money with which to actually enjoy life whilst they are around. With life insurance cover your loved ones are given a lump sum by the insurance firm if you die during your policy term, and this provides them with financial security at a difficult time.

When it comes to life insurance you can choose from a number of different options and coverage levels, and the cost of this cover can vary depending on a variety of factors. This includes your health, your age, the level of cover you take, the type of life insurance you take out, and the provider that you choose. Of course, you don't want to pay over the odds for this valuable protection, so there are a number of things to bear in mind that could help to reduce the cost of getting life insurance cover put into place.

Smokers are not only at risk of health problems as a result of their habit, but they also spend a fortune on cigarettes and risk paying substantially higher life insurance premiums because of the increased risk of getting a terminal illness from smoking. If you want to save money on your cover, improve your health, and stop throwing money away, then give up for at least twelve months in a row, as this could bring your risk levels and your life insurance premiums down.

Likewise insurance companies also view those with serious weight problems as a higher risk, again because of the associated health problems. It may therefore help you if you are able to increase your exercise and eat a balanced and healthy diet, as this could help you to lose weight, which in turn could help to reduce your life insurance premiums because you will then be classed as a lower risk.

A key aspect of getting affordable life insurance cover is to shop around, so you need to compare different policies from a range of providers in order to find the best deal. You can do this with ease and convenience online, and you may find it helpful to use one of the various price comparison sites in operation, as these enable you to see a range of policies from different providers at a glance.

Remember, there are different options available when it comes to life insurance cover, and you should choose the one that fits in with what you can afford to pay. You can enjoy cheaper premiums with term life insurance compared to whole life cover, and the level of cover that you take will also determine how much you pay.

Looking For Best Family Healthcare Plans?

2009-01-12T15:15:00.001-07:00

These days it can be hard to find Family Healthcare Plans, especially if you happen to be dealing with a health condition such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, or other severe illness. In fact, in many states, you may not even be able to find any health insurance, which leaves you at extreme risk of losing your hard earned savings, your home, and other important assets.

However, there is a way to get health insurance that is both affordable and guaranteed. Affiliated Worker's Association insurance is available to everyone, regardless of current health condition and offers coverage for hospital costs, doctor's visits, prescriptions and much more.

If you currently have a pre-existing health condition, you already know how difficult it can be to find a private health plan that actually will accept you and will not charge so much that you cannot afford it.

Considering that the number of people dealing with diabetes, cancer, stroke, and other conditions is rising, this leave a huge segment of the population without any type of individual medical insurance.

If you are fortunate, you may be able to get Family Health Insurance through an employer or other association, but for millions, this is not an option. Unfortunately, going without a hospital plan is not an option because medical bills can easily reach into the thousands of dollars and cause you extreme financial distress. And, if you already have a health condition, you are at high risk of needing expensive health care, which can wipe out your savings and assets.

If you are currently looking for a health plan that can limit your losses for medical expenses and provide you with important health services, you have come to the right place. This no deductible, guaranteed issue health plan is available to everyone regardless of age or health status and can provide you with the benefits you need to get necessary routine and emergency health care in a physican's office, hospital or other healthcare facility.

Medical insurance is available in four different tiers, which provide you with a scaled level of benefits. You can choose the appropriate tier for your family depending on your specific needs and you can also choose a family plan for your spouse and children at a reduced cost.

Included in coverage are your important needs such as wellness visits, X-rays, lab work, E.R. benefits, hospital benefits, and surgery benefits. There is also accidental death benefits included as part of the cost of the coverage as an added feature.

Unlike many health benefit plans, these plans also includes prescription drug coverage as part of the plan, allowing you to get your prescriptions for ten to forty dollars, depending on brand.

In addition to providing no turn down insurance to people of all ages, this health insurance also provides an innovative and time and money saving service known as Teledoc. With this service, you can get a telephone consultation with a licensed physician who can recommend treatment, provide prescriptions, and more at any time of the day or night.

Whether you are retired but not yet receiving insurance, a cash-strapped student, or a person of any age with a health condition that makes it hard to get medical coverage, you can enjoy the many benefits of knowing that you have your own individual medical plan to help with your medical expenses.

This is also a great option as a supplemental plan for anyone with a very high deductible insurance plan that makes it hard to afford first dollar care.

Don't let high medical costs get you down - check out this guaranteed issue coverage today. There has never been a better time to sign up for the Best Family Healthcare Coverage.

Short Term Disability Insurance Can Help

2009-01-10T13:33:00.001-07:00

We would all like to know exactly what was going to happen to us in the future, good or bad although it is hard planning for the good it is much easier, although less pleasurable to make arrangements for the bad but long or short term disability insurance can help. With the stress and frustration caused by a temporary or permanent disability, disability insurance can help you not only weather the financial difficulties you may encounter during your incapacitation but also to take some of the emotional strain away the financial difficulties it is certain to create. In fact there is a higher probability of a person requiring some form of long or short term disability insurance before they retire than the likelihood of dying. However more people buy life insurance long before considering the advantages of disability coverage. If you are aged 40 for example, there is a higher chance that you will be disabled, and thus unable to work for a period of 90 days or more, than of you dying before the age of 65.

Of course, when someone is seeking disability insurance cover, it is imperative to find the best disability insurance rates and plans available. Unlike life cover, disability insurance rates are based on the potential income lost as well as, age, occupation and general health. Many people find that they can reduce their monthly disability insurance premiums buy delaying when the first payment would be made to them if they were to make a claim on their disability insurance plan. Another option to lower the monthly premiums is put a limit on how long the payments are to be made before they stop although if you your period of incapacitation lasts longer than this, it will mean that you will have to find an alternative source of income.

Insurance company policies will differ but the majority will only pay a percentage of your lost income so it is a good idea to choose the best one for you and in this instance, the cheapest disability insurance may not necessarily be the best. Reduced period disability insurance is also known as short term disability and although it may only last a few months, the benefits can be greater to the claimant. However, if someone takes out total disability insurance which would provide a reduced financial income for a longer period, they will probably have to show proof that they could no longer perform tasks they could before the incapacitation. Whatever the situation though, a person making a claim owing to incapacitation will be sent a disability benefit check every month until the end of the plan or they return to work.

Other key points to consider when looking into disability insurance are if there are restrictions on pre-existing medical conditions, whether your occupation will increase the cost of premiums, how long the payments are made and whether you will have to pay tax on the benefit. Remember that every disability insurance policy is different and they will not all provide exactly the same benefits, including how much they will pay as a percentage of your income. To give you an example: some disability insurance plans pay out as much as seventy percent of your monthly income in benefit whereas others can pay as low as forty percent so you need to do your research to avoid being paid less than you can afford to survive on. More than any other factor, it is this one that you need to be sure of as once you have taken out the plan and found it necessary to make a claim, it will be too late for you to change it.

2009-01-09T07:19:00.001-07:00

Finding and buying affordable smokers life insurance plans is not as difficult as it once was if you know how to look for them and who to speak to. Yes it's true if you smoke your annual premiums could end up being almost double of what you non smoker counterparts end up paying. But just because you smoke doesn't mean you have to break the bank when you go to buy a new life insurance policy.

Most company underwriting guidelines want to see that you have not used any form of tobacco for one year in order for you to get Non Tobacco premiums. With one year of no smoking or tobacco you could possibly qualify for their standard or standard plus rate classes. If you have quit for two years up to three years then you may qualify for Preferred Rates. If you have quit for over five years you just might get the best rates possible. That is if you qualify per the carriers guidelines on all there other health categories.

If you stop using tobacco these could be your possible rate categories issued from the carrier:

For Preferred Best you would need to quit smoking for at least five years:
Preferred rate class possible if you stop using tobacco for three plus years:
Standard or Standard plus non tobacco rate's possible if you quit for two or more years:
One year no tobacco maybe a Standard Rate Class:

Is it possible to get Term Life Insurance with no Para Medical Exam

2008-12-29T22:15:00.001-07:00

No Exam Term Life Policies are life insurance policies where you do not have to have a Para Medical exam completed for underwriting.The process is you will fill out an application and answer fairly typical health questions.

The underwriters will base their decision off your application as well as checking the MIB (medical information bureau) for any adverse history of insurance underwriting. The benefits of purchasing this type of policy are almost immediate underwriting and issue of the policy and obviously no underwriting. There are also a couple of drawbacks as well though, first and foremost you will pay more in premium cost's.

Advantage's vs. Dis-Advantage of No Exam Term Life Policies

Advantages:

Policy could be issued in under half an hour

No Para Medical Exam is needed for completion

Great if you have slight health impairments (like arthritis)

If you have MIB hits that other insurance companies have submitted you'll know quickly

Disadvantages:

Premiums will be higher than fully underwritten policy

Face Amounts are limited, some carriers will go as high as $300,000

You don't get a free exam paid by the life insurance carrier

These are just a few of the advantage and disadvantages of these types of policies.A few years ago I bought a no exam policy due to some Arthritis issues I was having and the policy fit my immediate needs at the time.

Talk to your life insurance broker or agent and make sure they know exactly what you need the policy for in your planning. Also get quotes from a number of different top carriers for comparison. Get quotes for a fully underwritten policy and then get the no exam term life insurance policy quotes.

Compare the premiums between both plans and if the convenience of getting an instant issue life insurance policy put in force out weighs a fully underwritten plan then maybe it's right for you.Waiting for a couple of months and applying for a fully underwritten plan could save you around thirty to forty percent in premiums.

The cousin policy to no exam life insurance is the guaranteed issue life insurance policy or sometimes referred to as graded premium life. This type of plan you would seek out if you have serious health issues and have been declined by the traditional life insurance carriers. Premiums are high and the death benefit is graded, meaning the longer you live you obtain a higher death benefit.

Canadian Term Life Insurance Rates – How To Get Cheap Life Insurance Rates

2008-12-28T00:00:00.001-07:00

Are you satisfied with your life insurance? Truth be told, unfortunately there are many families that are not properly insured in case of a premature death. Even if this is a very unpleasant topic to discuss, you should set things ready just in case something bad happens.

It is very important to protect your family and your assets and that´s why you should consider getting a life insurance. There are different types of insurance on the market so all you have to do is to find the one that suits you best.

Term life insurance is in fact an insurance policy that will protect you for a certain period of time (the term). If you set the term to a year, then your policy will protect you for exactly 1 year.

In case something bad happens to you during all this time your appointed beneficiaries will receive the death benefit from the insurance company. You select the beneficiaries when you fill in your insurance application but if you change your mind in the mean time, you can modify the list as you please.

Many people purchase term insurance for many reasons. Mainly they go for a term insurance because the expenses are very affordable. If you´re planning to insure yourself for a large amount then this is your best option.

The Canadians use insurance for protecting members of their family or certain things for a certain period of time. For example, they insure their families for a large amount of money until the children graduate from high school.

Or the husband is insuring the wife´s protection until retirement. Each person decided who or what to insure and there are insurance policies for practically everything.

When the term is up unfortunately you´ll have to repeat the entire process in order to renew the insurance. In time the rates grow very high and that´s why if you think about purchasing Canadian life insurance then you should do some thinking and choose the best term length for your needs.

It has been proven that online shopping for insurance offers you the best rates. Start your own research and read as much as possible before selecting an insurance provider.

While browsing the pages you have to keep one thing in mind: your insurance rate will be established by the answers to a few simple questions about you. You´ll be asked about your age, your gender, your smoking habits, your health status, your occupation and of course your desired life insurance amount.

If you provide the right answers they´ll offer you a life insurance that will match perfectly to your life.

How To Choose A Term Life Insurance Policy

2008-12-25T08:50:00.001-07:00

Life insurance can be confusing to understand in and of itself. So when carriers come out with multiple products with an array of provisions it can be overwhelming to decide which is best for your planning needs.

Here we will update you on the primarily four different kinds of term life insurance policies. Being informed will help you be more comfortable with the product and more confident in your decision to purchase the plan for you or your family.

There are primarily four different types of term life policies available:

"ART" or Annual Renewable Term Life:
Or it is also called "yearly renewable term" or YRT and ART or "annually renewable term"
This product simply provides protection for one year, then it renews the next year same face amount but the premiums increase with your attained age.This life insurance policy is typically used in planning for very short term needs. Perhaps to cover a loan or some sort of business situation where an executive or key employee needs the coverage.

Guaranteed Level Term Life Insurance:
This product has a level death benefit that you choose at the time of application. The premium is level as well but you need to be very careful here.Depending on the carrier some policies may be a 20 yr level term life but the premiums may adjust after an initial 10 yr guaranteed period. Most carriers have guaranteed their level term life products for the whole term period, they have done this primarily due to competition. Make sure you look at the carriers illustration ran on their own software. There you will be able to verify if the premiums are guaranteed for the whole term period.

Mortgage Term or Decreasing Term Life:
This product is mostly non-existent anymore, due to that rates have become so competitive and affordable that level plans make more sense to buy. You may have heard this product called Mortgage Term Life Insurance also, because it was marketed mostly to new homeowners after buying a home to cover the loss of the bread winner. This product would simply decrease in face amount and premiums over the years of keeping the policy in force. The goal would be that when your mortgage or loan was paid off your insurance would dissipate as well because there was no longer a need for coverage. My opinion is just buy a level guaranteed product, they are affordable right now and you would want the larger face amount for your family anyway.

Return Of Premium Term Life:
This type of policy is a newer product that has been around for a few years now. I really like this product and it has become very popular for the following reasons. Typically depending on the carrier you could purchase a 15 year, 20 year, 25 year or 30 year policy. What happens is after you hold the policy typically for half of the time of your guarantee you would start building a return of your premium dollars.How it works is if you buy a 30yr rop plan and if you still own it after 15 years there would be a percentage of your premiums paid into the policy that you could walk away with. Request that your broker or agent show you the carriers illustration where it shows you exactly how long you have to hold the policy and how much you would get back in your pocket. Of course if you hold the policy to maturity you will get back 100% of your premium, not to bad heh. Only bad about these policies is that they are definitely more expensive that straight term life policies. The return of premium life plans are great if you can justify paying more now for the potential to get all your premium back down the road.

You are now armed with the basics of the different types of term life policies and plans. As always ask a lot of questions and make sure you feel comfortable working with your broker and the carrier you select to insure your life.

Dental and Vision Insurance

2008-12-06T15:10:00.001-07:00

For most of us who work and get medical benefits through our employer, once a year we are asked to select an insurance plans as part of our health benefits. Every year we are also given a choice to add coverage for dental and vision insurance.

Some employers may not provide the coverage for both dental and vision coverage but in some cases they may cover up to a certain amounts or some basic services. For example federal employees have their own federal employees dental and vision insurance program.

Normally since we go along with the company's group insurance provider we may be able to get a discount rate for vision and dental plans.

It is highly recommended for you to scrutinize the dental and vision plans offered in order to see what are the services covered and you can do the cost benefit analysis. That is comparing the services offered to the monthly premium amounts that you have to pay.

Most of the time you will come out as a winner, since dental and vision package can save you a lot of money in the long run. Most of the major provider make this plan available at a reasonable rate. Some of the plan are tied to your health insurance but some are available independently.

At the same time you may also realize that your vision or dental check up are long overdue and it is about time to visit the dentist or eye doctor.

Most of the adults do not visit eye doctor or dental office on a regular basis. Many of us will visit the dentist and the eye doctor only when we have problems and absolutely have no other choice.

It is very important for the adults to get regular dental and vision care especially as we get older. Of course with the coverage of dental and vision plan, that would take care of the expenses for the services provided.

The cost for dental and vision insurance is relatively cheaper than the regular medical or health insurance. For a simple reason since your visit to dentist or eye doctor are less frequent than your visit to family doctor.

On a final note, it is a very good deal to have both dental and vision insurance as a package plan. If you look at the long term the benefits, it is far outweight the monthly cost.

Dental and vision expenses are normally quite expensive. Without insurance coverage it is pretty painful to pay from your own pockets.

Choosing Individual Disability Insurance

2008-12-02T19:11:00.001-07:00

We would all like to know exactly what was going to happen to us in the future, good or bad although it is hard planning for the good it is much easier, although less pleasurable to make arrangements for the bad but individual disability insurance can help. With the stress and frustration caused by a temporary or permanent disability, individual disability insurance can help you not only weather the financial difficulties you may encounter during your incapacitation but also to take some of the emotional strain away the financial difficulties it is certain to create. In fact there is a higher probability of a person requiring some form of individual disability insurance before they retire than the likelihood of dying. However more people buy life insurance long before considering the advantages of disability coverage. If you are aged 40 for example, there is a higher chance that you will be disabled, and thus unable to work for a period of 90 days or more, than of you dying before the age of 65.

Owing to the probability of it being used, individual disability insurance is more expensive than life cover and it is important that the most competitive rates are sought. Premiums for individual disability insurance are based on many characteristics like age, occupation, health and the calculations of potential lost income. Many people find that they can reduce their monthly individual disability insurance premiums buy delaying when the first payment would be made to them if they were to make a claim on their individual disability insurance plan. Another option to lower the monthly premiums is put a limit on how long the payments are to be made before they stop although if you your period of incapacitation lasts longer than this, it will mean that you will have to find an alternative source of income.

Insurance company policies will differ but the majority will only pay a percentage of your lost income so it is a good idea to choose the best one for you and in this instance, the cheapest individual disability insurance may not necessarily be the best. Short term individual disability insurance income covers the first few months you are disabled and the benefits of short-term disability income insurance are many. Whereas if someone wants to claim total disability and be completely covered financially, then they will have to prove that they are unable to perform the majority of the tasks that they used to. Irrespective of the type of policy you have, payments for disability are made regularly, every week or month until the end of the incapacitation or the policy, whichever come first.

Other key points to consider when looking into individual disability insurance are if there are restrictions on pre-existing medical conditions, whether your occupation will increase the cost of premiums, how long the payments are made and whether you will have to pay tax on the benefit. Remember that every individual disability insurance policy is different and they will not all provide exactly the same benefits, including how much they will pay as a percentage of your income. To give you an example: some individual disability insurance plans pay out as much as seventy percent of your monthly income in benefit whereas others can pay as low as forty percent so you need to do your research to avoid being paid less than you can afford to survive on. More than any other factor, it is this one that you need to be sure of as once you have taken out the plan and found it necessary to make a claim, it will be too late for you to change it.

A Few Helpful Hints On The All Important 3 Insurance Types

2008-12-01T20:10:00.001-07:00

One thing that many view as a required evil is insurance. In virtually all places, it is essential to have this on your home (if you are the owner) and you must also have it on your vehicles that you wish to drive. You should as well as carry it if you rent, as your landlord’s policy will not cover your physical properties. Life insurance is also something that everyone should hold no matter how middling or perilous their jobs are. This avails to protect households in the effect of catastrophe. What is just as important as carrying insurance is discerning your insurance rates.

When it comes to auto insurance, for example, your policy rates are going to count on quite a few things. One affair is your driving chronicle, and that does execute a substantive part indetecting how much you are going to pay for even elementary insurance policies. If you have experienced chance events or have had speeding citations, your insurance expenses are going to be more expensive. You can slowly bring them down through the flow of a few yrs if you keep up a sound driving record, but if you don’t, your expenses will persist on being high. You may likewise see your costs shift depending on how old you are,the length of time you have been driving, and where you park your car at night.

When it comes to home insurance, your policy costs count on what variety of coverage you must have. This differs depending on your mortgage particulars. You may need to get fire insurance, and you may likewise want to opt for flood insurance. Your policy costs in relation to your dwelling will likewise have a lot to do with where you live and what possible things could come about. Those near the coast, for example, are going to expect higher rates when it comes to flood insurance.

Equally for life insurance rates, you are going to see that your line of work will determine how much are going to pay for the coverage that you require. When you have a job like a commercial fisherman, construction worker, or anything else that carries a trace of peril implied, your insurance costs are not going to be gentle to you. However, there often isn’t a good deal you can do about that. You can look around for the best bargain, and that is something an intelligent consumer practices, but you may see most rates near the same as the others. You just have to consider their worth in equivalence to what you are acquiring in return.

Protect Yourself With Critical Illness Insurance

2008-11-30T08:58:00.001-07:00

Critical Illness Insurance
We are surrounded by insurance policies for this and that and most of the time we never use them but critical illness insurance will protect you from financial problems if you are in a situation where you will never work or live a normal life again. Although we are happy to sit with our cup of coffee and a pastry costing each day and somehow rationalize that it is a necessity, but not spend the few dollars a week it would cost for critical illness insurance to protect our finances and our loved ones health, should we ever need to.

As the majority of critical illness insurance products now cover common illnesses and given the statistical probability that you will be critically ill at some point, it is a good thing to have. Speaking of statistics, recently they have revealed that at least twenty percent of men will suffer from a critical illness before they retire. For women, this figure is slightly lower with only one in six being affected by a critical illness before retirement.

Lack of knowledge or belief in the chances of contracting a critical illness might be the main reason why so few adults take out critical illness insurance protection, according to insurance companies. Protection of mortgage payments is listed as the number one reason why people decide to have critical illness insurance cover. Fortunately, most mortgage protection policies will now allow you to include life insurance and critical illness cover.

More and more people are starting to use the facilities provided by the internet to research and purchase insurance policies, including critical illness insurance. As with any new technology, there have been a few glitches as more and more insurance providers decide to use the internet as a means to promote, inform and sell policies of this type. From a critical illness insurance providers point of view, this is quite understandable as there often needs to be a medical examination carried out on the policy applicant prior to the plan being accepted. This is also benefits the claimant as the last thing they want is to claim in on their critical illness insurance to have problems with the company over any potential settlement.

Smokers, unfortunately, are treated as higher risk critical illness insurance applicants, including anyone who has smoked within the previous year and as a consequence are placed in a high risk category. This is understandable as statistics show you are at a greater risk of smoking related conditions and so your insurance premium must increase in line with this potential risk. For the most part though, when you apply for critical illness insurance, the company will factor in your age, health, workplace, environment, activities and so forth. If you are laid off from work because of your condition or require specialist surgery, your critical illness insurance should cover the expenses incurred. There can be no argument about the peace of mind that having a critical illness insurance policy in place can bring to someone who has a family and financial responsibilities.

How to Buy Term Life Insurance Plans and Save Money

2008-11-27T15:17:00.001-07:00

Knowing how to buy term life insurance the right way is very important for a number of reasons, number one being saving you some big money in premiums. I'm going to give you three simple tips that will help you find and buy the best most affordable term life insurance policy.

Term Life Insurance is by far the least expensive form or type of life insurance that you can currently purchase. The last ten years have seen the premiums come down drastically due to people living longer in general and competition with the carriers. Most big time financial mavens like Dave Ramesy and Suzie Orman praise term life insurance for it's cost effectiveness and practicality.

Now that you are ready to buy a term life policy just how do you go about it?

Start by contacting a very experienced life insurance broker or agent, look for someone who has some credential like the CLU designation. A broker is an agent who can sell multiple carriers plans and policies, an agent is typically someone who sells only for one company like New York Life or AXA. Make sure you contact a broker that sells for multiple companies this is the most important step that in getting the best quotes and rates from the carriers.

After getting at least ten separate carrier quotes you now have to start asking you agent some questions, they will now know that you have done your homework and this won't be a rollover sale for them with the highest commission carrier!

First question to ask is which carrier's have the best ratings, very important that when you die the company you have paid all those premiums into will now be able to pay your death claim. Don't take this step lightly, really research the companies financials and ask a lot of questions. Get rating reports on each carrier from your broker and review with them.

Next is who might have the best underwriting for you personally? You will be disclosing some personal health information with your agent so make sure you feel comfortable with this person. If you have any major health issue's this factor will be more important than if you are healthy and expecting to obtain Preferred rates. Most term life insurance companies have niche's in underwriting for specific health impairments and your broker should know which is strong for each particular issue. If you have Diabetes or Heart Disease your selection will become more narrowed but that doesn't mean you still can't find a great, affordable plan.

Last it is important to ask which carriers have really great Permanent Life plans that you could convert to if needed or wanted to later in the term of your plan. You never know when you might have a serious health issue that could affect you from getting a new term life policy after your current plan expires. If your term plan is convertible you can convert it at the attained rate class you received when you took out the term plan, but you will pay the rates at your current age. That's okay though it still will be much cheaper than paying possibly substandard rates.

If you follow this guide you are on your way to buying the most affordable term life plan that will protect your family, mortgage or business in the even of your death. Life Insurance is so easy to procrastinate and put off buying, I have even done it myself but with rates at an all time low you need to bite the bullet and just do it!

Everyone needs at least some kind of health insurance. A few people are worried about qualifying for an insurance plan primarily if they have health problems. There are several choices available and although some are hard to find, they can be quite simple to qualify for.

Before enrolling in a plan, consider your family's health needs and budget requirements. There are basically two types of plans to think about, a private plan and a government plan.

Types of Coverage

The private plan is commonly secured through employment. Most employers will propose some type of insurance for their full time employees. In most states employers are obligated to provide insurance if the employee surpasses a certain level of hours worked during the course of a week. Some times the employer will offer some sort of group health plan for their employees which decreases the monthly premium costs. Generally this sort of package will cover your spouse and family. Many people may not be able to participate in group plans. There are many single plans are offered although they may be a bit more expensive to group plans. You should shop around for your private health insurance quote to obtain the most competitive prices.

If you are going to enroll with a private plan learn all you can about the coverage in the contract. Study all the inclusions and exclusions and avoid signing up with a policy that has a long list of exclusions. Also do not forget to obtain a copy of all the paperwork you sign.

Health insurance plans provided by the government is normally on a state or national level. One prime example would be Medicare which is a nationwide plan. Medicare is offered to those people over 65 years of age and also is available to handicapped people. Some other types of government aided health care plans include Medicaid which is based on income level, health and care for veterans and children's health plans.

Do Your Research

In general, it is very important to be covered, no matter what plan you qualify for. Do your homework and search the internet. Many websites offer price variations for different options and policies. Check out what coverage options are available for you, get quotes and don't forget to read the fine print.
