Heart Disease Insurance

February is Heart Disease Month

President Lyndon B. Johnson proclaimed the first American Heart Month to be in February 1964. At that time more than half of the deaths were caused by heart disease in the U.S. Today, heart disease remains the leading cause of death, globally, with more than 17.3 million deaths each year and rising. Now more than ever you need heart disease insurance.

Heart disease: It’s a killer

It goes by many names: coronary heart disease, congenital heart disease, arrhythmia, heart attack, congestive heart failure. Whatever form it takes, heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death among men and women in the United States today.1 Every 40 seconds on average, someone in the U.S. dies of heart disease.2 Nearly 86 million Americans (more than 1-in-3 adults) have one or more types of cardiovascular disease.3 But heart disease doesn’t have to be a certainty. When more people understand the causes, they can take steps to reduce their risk of developing problems in the first place.

Power and purpose of the heart

The heart never rests. A normal heart beats about 100,000 times a day, cranking out 2,000 gallons of blood.4 As the blood circulates, it not only carries oxygen and nutrients to organs and tissues, it also carries waste products to the kidneys, liver and lungs to be flushed out of the body. By the time someone turns age 70, his or her heart has contracted more than 2.5 billion times.5 Given the organ’s importance inside the body, it’s easy to see why heart disease can be disabling or even devastating.

It may be in your genes

Many risk factors that contribute to heart disease are manageable habits and behaviors.
These three are NOT:
♥ Family history. If someone in your family has struggled with heart disease, you are more likely to have problems as well.
♥ Gender. Men are more likely to suffer heart attacks, but heart disease remains the leading cause of death for American women.
♥ Race. Certain ethnic groups—including African-Americans, Mexican Americans, Native Americans and Native Hawaiians—are more likely to have heart disease.
Have you known someone who has had a heart attack, stroke, or suffers from heart disease?

Why do I need Heart Disease Insurance, I have health insurance.

Heart attacks and strokes happen unexpectedly, and generally at the worst time. When they do, it can leave you and your family vulnerable to out-of-pocket expenses that major medical insurance does not cover.  Let’s face it, health insurance these days isn’t what it used to be.  If you don’t see the right doctor at the right time, or if you are out-of-network your plan may not pay anything.  Heart disease insurance benefits are paid directly to you.  They give you piece of mind that you can see the doctor or specialist you want to see, even though he may not be in your plan network.  These plans can dramatically reduce the worry about how you will pay for those unexpected expenses, not to mention the normal living expenses that keep coming in whether you are able to work or not. With less worry, you can focus on getting well rather than how you will get the money to pay your electric or phone bill.

Let’s have a HEART-TO-HEART

So many people rely on you every day: your children, spouse or significant other, your employer and coworkers, your closest friends and even your parents as they age. And while you’re busy focusing on those who count on you, you may not realize how much you count on your heart. You work hard and give your best effort to take care of the important people in your life. During National Heart Month, take time to care for yourself. Make the choice today to lead a heart-healthy lifestyle and get added protection.

Medicare Supplement Plan F or Plan G

“That is the real question, which Medicare Supplement Plan do I go with?” Bob said. “Plan F or Plan G? They both look the same.” “Good question.” I told him. Then I began to explain as I do to all the folks I talk to who ask this same question. It’s funny how in the end, they always seem to agree and make the same decision because it just makes $ense.

Here is the deal. Plan F has been the most popular plan in the Medicare Supplement Market for years. Mainly because it is simple to understand; most people have almost no out of pocket costs other than what they pay each month for the plan. If Medicare pays, then the Medicare Supplement pays. Some people even say the “F” stands for “Full coverage”. However, “Full coverage” as we all know, comes at a price, and sometimes it isn’t the best “bang for your buck”.

Plan F and Plan G are identical, the ONLY difference is, on Plan G you have to pay for the Medicare Part B deductible. Therefore, Plan G is becoming more and more popular, mainly because of the cost. If you look at the graph below, the Part B deductible has not changed in the past 3 years.

PART B DEDUCTIBLE HISTORY

In 2010 Part B deductible was $155
In 2011 Part B deductible was $162
In 2012 Part B deductible was $140
In 2013 Part B deductible was $147
In 2014 Part B deductible was $147
In 2015 Part B deductible was $147

Even though the Part B deductible hasn’t changed much in the past 5 years (in fact it’s lower than it was in 2011), Plan F prices have steadily been increasing every year. Basically, for 4 years people with Plan F have been paying more for a benefit that hasn’t changed.

When you look at the actual numbers, the Medicare Part B deductible breaks down to around $12 per month ($147 / 12 months). So if a Plan F costs $12 more than a Plan G per month for you, then you are paying too much!!! Make $ense??

In some areas, we see a Plan F for a customer and a Plan G be as much as $40 difference! So tell me, if Progressive or Geico told you that you could save $480 per year in premium and only add $147 in your deductible, would you be willing to make that change? Of course you would, because it makes $ense.

So after quoting Bob Plan F @ $187.39 per month and Plan G @ $157.35 per month … I said to Bob … “I always give folks the choice by showing them the price difference and let them make the decision … which plan do YOU think you should go with?” Without hesitation Bob blurted “Well I would be dumb to not go with Plan G!” Bob is a smart man. Over 90% of our customers go with Plan G, however if you are willing to give an insurance company $200-$400 in trade for $147, then we won’t mind helping you do that.

Life events can change insurance

Some of our biggest life events that trigger special enrollments and change our healthcare coverage too.

Under the Affordable Care Act, many life events, such as losing a job, having a baby, moving, divorcing and getting married, allow people to sign up for health insurance throughout the year, outside of the annual open enrollment period.

Obamacare enrollment runs from Nov. 1 through Jan. 31 for 2016 coverage.

Young adults are more likely than any other age group to experience a life event that qualifies them for special enrollment

Once people understand that getting married, having a kid or moving can be an opportunity to enroll in affordable care, people are interested in hearing about their options. Especially if they picked a plan they are not so happy with.

One thing to remember though, there is only a limited period of time to get a new health policy when these life events happen.

As a general rule, you have to enroll within 60 days of a qualifying event. It’s not an open window.

Not all big life events can alter your insurance coverage — at least not immediately.

Pregnancy

Having a baby, triggers an opportunity to switch health plans, but most people are suprised to find out that pregnancy does not trigger an opportunity. Pregnancy doesn’t allow you to switch plans, it only allows you to add the child to the plan.

Here are some common reasons people qualify for a special enrollment period under Obamacare:

Losing insurance

The reasons for losing insurance are varied – The loss of a job-based plan, aging out of a parent’s coverage at the age of 26, losing coverage through divorce, or losing eligibility for Medicaid or the state’s insurance program for people with low incomes, trigger a special enrollment period.

Most people feel COBRA is their only option. They aren’t aware that after leaving or losing their job they can sign up for a plan and even apply for a tax credit to lower their insurance costs.

Once you elect COBRA, you can’t just drop it. If you continue your current job-based health plan through COBRA, you’ll have to keep it until it ends or the next annual open enrollment comes around when you can sign up for a new plan. Canceling COBRA before it expires does not count as a qualifying event triggering a special enrollment period.

In fact, losing insurance because of something you do yourself — say, stopping payment because you believe that your plan is too pricey — won’t qualify you for a special enrollment period.

Moving

Most health plans operate within a specific geographic area. If you permanently move to a new city or ZIP Code, you may qualify for a special enrollment period and have the chance to pick a new plan.

If you move to a ZIP Code where another plan is now offered or a plan that was offered is no longer available, that’s a qualifying life event.

Marriage – Divorce – Adoption

You can add someone to your health plan if you get married, or if you have or adopt a child. Losing insurance coverage because of divorce also qualifies you to buy a new policy during a special enrollment period.

There are a few other special events that may trigger a special enrollment opportunity. To learn if you qualify for special enrollment email us directly or call 877-740-8683 and we will be happy to assist.

June is National Safety Month-Do you have Accident Coverage?

The National Safety Council says the annual cost of injuries in the US is $753 billion. This includes medical costs, lost wages, and damages. Each year 1 in 8 people will receive medical care due to a non-fatal injury, and accidents are the cause of 33% of all ER visits. Workers comp does a good job of covering accidents at work, but 70% of accidents occur outside the workplace. While most people have Health Insurance, we have found that one of the biggest gaps in both Group and Individual policies, even with the new Health Care Reform, is the ER deductible and co-pay. You can obtain an affordable Accident Policy that helps with these costs for as little as 50 cents a day. Give us a call at 877-740-8683, or visit www.freedomfreequote.com , for a free quote today.

Medigap Continues to Grow

Recent studies shoe that Medicare Supplement, or Medigap, policies continue to grow in popularity. With over 10.5 million people enrolled in Medigap as of 12-31-2013, that represents a 3.8% growth over the previous year. People are also overwhelmingly satisfied with their Medigap coverage. 94% are satisfied with their coverage, 95% consider it a good value, and more than 9 out of 10 would recommend Medigap to their friends and family. You just don’t see that level of satisfaction with under 65 Health Insurance. Plan F continues to be the most popular choice, with 52% of plans purchased. Plan G, our pick for best value, and Plan N are growing in market share. One of the only complaints a person can have with Medigap is the price. While rates do go up, you are always able to change to a new Medigap policy at any time. Medigap policies are not subject to the lock in period that Medicare Advantage has. If you are turning 65, or new to Medicare, give us a call at 877-740-8683, and we will help you find the best rate. If you have a current plan, and would like to make sure you have the lowest price, you can also call, or visit www.emedigap411.com , for a free personalized price comparison.

Cash or Get Well Card for Cancer?

While most people are aware of the increasing risk of developing Cancer, 1 in 2 odds for men, and 1 in 3 for women, many times they are not aware of the devastating costs associated with this disease. In 2010 alone the total cost of Cancer was over $268 billion. Much of the costs associated with Cancer are indirect. Those costs include things like loss of income, travel, and other charges that will never be paid by even the best Health Insurance. With most Americans living paycheck to paycheck, they really aren’t prepared to deal with an extra out of pocket expense. The facts show that people with Cancer are more than 2 1/2 times more likely to go bankrupt than those without Cancer. There are many new and innovative plan designs that help pay cash to an individual when they are diagnosed with Cancer or another Critical Illness. Many of the plans include benefits for Cancer screening, which can lead to early diagnosis, prompt treatment, and better outcomes. While having a benefit that puts money back in your pocket doesn’t make the diagnosis or treatment easier, it is one less thing to worry about, during one of the most stressful times a family can go through. Like I asked one of our customers the other day: If you get diagnosed with Cancer, would you rather we send you a Get Well card, or a check for $20,000? The answer is pretty obvious, and you can purchase a policy like that for around $1 per day. Give us a call at 877-740-8683, or visit www.freedomfreequote.com , for a free personalized quote today.

I have Medicare, do I need to go to healthcare.gov?

All of our customers on Medicare Part A & B (or C) and possibly D are asking … “How is all this Obamacare gonna affect me?”

Well, no need to worry, you don’t need to do anything to your Medicare plan because it isn’t part of the healthcare.gov site.  If you have Medicare, you are basically already covered.

No matter how you get Medicare, whether through Original Medicare with a Medicare Supplement, or through a Medicare Advantage plan, (like an HMO or PPO) you don’t have to make any changes.

If you want to shop around for a Medicare Supplement plan or Medicare Advantage plan, you will not be able to shop rates on the Marketplace (healthcare.gov) … just give us a call and we can help you with that part or go to www.eMedigap411.com

If you only have Medicare Part B, most people do not know this, but you are not considered to have minimum essential coverage.  That means you would be subject to the penalty that people who don’t have coverage may have to pay.

If you only have Medicare Part A, you are considered covered, and of course if you have Part A and Part B you are covered.

One thing has changed and that is Medicare has expanded benefits for preventive care and drug coverage.   They now have free preventive benefits, cancer screenings, and annual wellness visits.  You can also save money while in the “donut hole” with discounts on brand-name prescriptions.  (No the donut hole is not a place to eat!  It is when your total drug costs reach a certain point while you are covered under a Medicare Part D Prescription drug plan.

If you are new to Medicare, here are some things to remember:
– Medicare’s Open Enrollment Period (October 15-December 7)
– To learn more about your Medicare options visit www.eMedigap411.com

with a critical illness?

If you are like many people, you have few options:

Spend your savings.
Sell your assets.
Buy supplemental insurance to protect your family, finances and future.


We believe you need more “CASH” for personal expenses rather than more INSURANCE for doctors and hospitals.

Your benefits are paid DIRECTLY to YOU ! ! !

Critical Illness Insurance includes these important assurances:

  • Your benefits are paid in addition to any other insurance you carry.
  • You cannot be singled out for a rate increase. Your rates can be increased only if they are increased for all plans of this kind in your state.
  • Your benefits are never reduced.
  • Your policy is guaranteed renewable for life as long as your premiums are paid when due – only you can cancel.

What is a Supplemental Accident Policy?

MILLIONS of people have accidents every year.

Rate of Nonfatal, Medically Consulted Fall Injury Episodes, by Age Group
Graphic source: MMWR Quickstats, 02/03/2012
In 2010, the overall rate of nonfatal fall injury episodes for which a health-care professional was contacted was 43 per 1,000 population. Persons aged ≥75 years had the highest rate (115).
Will you or your family be affected?

Accidents and disabilities can create serious financial worries. A supplemental accident plan can help protect you and your loved ones from those concerns by providing additional assurance that major medical plans can’t.

In addition to the routine expenses that medical insurance covers, there are additional costs that you must pay yourself – not to mention the possibility of lost wages.

Protect your most valuable asset . . . your income!

With a supplemental accident plan, you get these assurances:

  • Your benefits are paid directly to you or to whomever you choose, unless otherwise required.
  • Your benefits have no lifetime maximum limits, and are renewable as long as premiums are paid.*
  • Your benefits are paid regardless of any other insurance you carry.
  • Your rates cannot be increased unless all rates of that kind are raised in your state.

*Some disability benefits/rider may only be guaranteed renewable to the age of 70

Did You Know?

Worker’s compensation only covers injuries that occur on the job.

Major medical plans may cover only routine medical expenses for accidents or disability, leaving uncovered costs such as copays, transportation, physical therapy, emergency room and a host of other expenses for you to pay out of your own pocket.

Loss of income due to a disability can strip you of your wealth-and the lifestyle to which you’re accustomed.

An accident plan is a great supplement to a high-deductible health plan.

According to the National Safety Council

  • 66% of all accidents occur off-the-job.
  • More than 23.8 million injuries required medical attention in 2003.
  • In 2004, over 82% of all costs due to accidental injuries were non-medical costs and expenses.

How would YOU pay for unexpected costs?

  • Spend your savings
  • Sell off assets
  • Preserve your resources with supplemental accident insurance.

Health Insurance Customer Service

We recently helped one of our customers keep his Grandfathered Individual Health Insurance Policy. His family has done business with our company for years, and when he went out on his own, he kept a Policy with our company. He had recently changed bank accounts, and this caused his bank draft payment to be returned. As often happens with young adults, he had moved a couple of times, and his contact information hadn’t been updated. One of the services our agency provides is to track customer payments, and help notify the member if they get behind. When we saw that this policy was in a potential lapse situation, we were able to get in touch with the member through his family. Then we were able to help him make payment arrangements, to keep his policy active. This was important, because he would not have been able to purchase a new policy at even close to his current premium. While he would have been able to qualify for a new policy at a higher rate, we have helped many people keep coverage that they wouldn’t have been able to re-qualify for, due to pre-existing conditions. I can remember several cases where the customer was even in the hospital when the bills got behind. The fact that we actually care, and do our best to help each customer in any way we can, is one of the things that sets Freedom Benefit Solutions apart from the competition. If you need help with your Individual Health Insurance or Medicare Supplement, give us a call at 877-740-8683.
