Believe it or not, my most common question is: How do I get information about the maternity card?
There is a very good way to do this. Since I don't work for affordable health care options, I cannot give plan details. I just know that it is a benefit plan for those who are already pregnant, without maternity coverage, or who do not have very comprehensive maternity coverage.
Some clients were unable to get into a doctor without the help of Affordable Health Care options because they did not have health insurance - sad state of affairs, I know!
This is what you do:
1. Go to this site:
http://www.ahco.biz/19806
2. Click Health Programs (Brown button in the middle of the page).
3. Click ENROLL at the top of the page (No, you don't have to enroll!)
4. Click THE MATERNITY CARD
6. Then you will see a form to fill in your contact information.
A representative will call or email you very quickly during a business day (Mon - Fri). If you fill in your info on the week-end, you will have to wait until Monday.
The program is a negotiated network program, and it can save you lots of money if you don't have health insurance, or if your insurance doesn't cover pregnancy, or if it doesn't cover it very well. They will also be able to direct you to qualified doctors in your area for service.

Looking at Index Life Products
Have you considered a universal life policy for your investment needs. Some great products exist which are tied to the S and P 500, but have guaranteed minimums so your principal and some earning power are protected - even in the worst case.
Many solid examples show these products outperform tax qualified products as long term retirement plans - and generally they are offered in places like schools and hospitals and supplements or alternatives to tax qualified plans.
Of course, you need to contact an insurance professional in your own state - and time - for the latest news - but you should think about advantages of non-tax qualified plans.

Why should a senior consider an immediat annuity
There are many reasons that individuals might consider an immediate annuity. An immediate annuity is one in which one single lump sum is made to fund an account, and then the individual can start taking out payments right away.
If you are already retired and need the income to live on consider:
An annuity can.....
Help protect you against outliving your assets. Social security pays retirement income for as long as you live, as do defined-benefit pension plans. But the only other source of income available that continues indefinitely is an immediate annuity.
Help protect your assets from creditors. Generally the most that creditors can access is the payments from an immediate annuity as they’re made, since the money you gave the insurance company now belongs to the company. Some state statutes and court decisions also protect some or all of the payments from those annuities.

Off Topic: Keyword Spam
O.K. here's an off topic rant - I applied for a link at a popular links site for blogs. They rejected my offer because they said this blog was a keyword spammer. In case you don't know what that is - it's a site that just exists to have a lot of keywords in the system.
I was ticked off. Of course, this blog is about insurance topics, and so I tend to use that word A LOT. I just don't know what else i should call it... plans, policies, whatever?????
I looked at the sites they did link, and they were all fu-fu sites with lots of pictures (probably stolen from elsewhere on the internet.).
So, anyway, there's my rant for the day!
Aren't BLOGS great?

Help! Health Insurance if you're already sick????
This question comes up at least 3 times a week. I have clients with conditions like rhumatoid arthritis - auto-declines with many health insurance for individual companies. How can they get help?
This info applies to Texas - but I'm sure other states have similar options - you just have to check with your own state insurance commission - so here goes -
If you already have any health insurance, the best bet isprobably to hold on to it. If you don't, the best advice that anagent should give you would be to look at the Texas Risk Pool first.The website link is: http://www.txhealthpool.com/ . However, thereare some people who do not qualify: (Make a phone call to the riskpool to be sure you are interpreting the rules correctly.) 1. The rules for eligability are here, and you can see they arequite numerous:: http://www.txhealthpool.com/eligibil.html 2. Pre-existing conditions may be excluded for 12 months_. Wow. Ihad to read that paragraph twice. To me, it seems like the reasonthat anybody would consider the risk pool, is that they do have apre-existing condition. Read the 'pre-existing' condition paragraphon the web page in section 1. 3. _They cannot afford it. Many middle class Americans make toomuch to qualify for Medicaid or a county health system, but stillcannot afford the risk pool. ...or they do have access to a groupinsurance plan, but because of unemployment of other circumstances,it is unaffordable.
=======================================================
ANOTHER SITUATION MIGHT ARISE WHERE YOU DO HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL PLAN,BUT YOU HAVE A WAIVER OR RIDER ATTACHED TO IT, AND YOU MUST WAIT OUTA PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE YOU HAVE COVERAGE. YOU MAY HAVE A HIGHDEDUCTIBLE TO KEEP YOUR PREMIUMS IN LINE, AND STILL FIND YOURSELFBURIED UNDER LOTS OF OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES. PERHAPS PRESCRIPTIONSAREN'T COVERED, OR THEY HAVE A VERY HIGH DEDUCTIBLE.A SIMPLE BROKENARM, WITH A TRIP TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM, COULD COST YOU A LOT OFMONEY, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO MEET YOUR DEDUCTIBLE.

Pregnant with No Insurance?
Most states don't have a lot of choices (make that zilch) for pregnant women who need individual health plans with maternity coverage. Any maternity coverage available in individual health plans generally has long waiting periods, and doesn't come close to meeting the costs of care.
A possible solution lies with consumer driven health plans like the maternity card. Having a maternity card negotiater work on your health plan, and using contracted rates will often save thousands of dollars...even up to 65 percent. These plans are not insurance, but access to pre-negotiated rates that are shockingly lower than what uninsured consumers are paying.
Get more information on one of the most popular plans, Maternity Card, here: CLICK HERE TO LOOK AT MATERNITY CARD.
If you are low income, check with your local Medicaid office. They are often very leniant when dealing with pregnant women.

Dental Insurance doesn't cover braces and cosmetics????
Yup, you got it. You thought you had dental insurance, but you find that your policy does not cover braces and orthodontics...some don't...or require and additional rider (and premium).
Look at a dental plan! A dental plan is NOT INSURANCE..... It is a participating network of dentist who agree to charge network prices, which save up to 65% on normal bills. It is a fact...generally people who have insurance are charged a total price that is less than people who do not. Why? This is because dentists and doctors agree to negotiated fees to be part of an insurance network.
Well, this is the network without the insurance. You pay much less for belonging to the network, are expected to be able to cover the cost (sometimes providers will work out a payment plan), and are entitled to the negotiated fees that insurance companies would pay.
My site allows you to choose from different plans in your own area, by zip, costs, areas of specialty....all that. Look for Dental Plans and VALU+ here:

Health Insurance Costs Too Much!
Yup. I know it does. On the other hand, insurance companies are crying that they are making little to no money on their plans. The thing about health insurance...as compared to say....life insurance...is that people actually use it many times!
See, the thing about life insurance is that the average client doesn't really keep their policy until they die. Companies collect money on term for a few years...and then the client lets it slide. Oh, some people do keep their policies, but they might not die within the 10 - 30 year term! Good for them! Good for the insurance company!
Well, health insurance is a different animal. I hope you don't die in the next several decades, but I am sure you will get sick - at least a little - and from an insurance agent's perspective, commissions on health insurance are much lower than on life. Why? See the paragraph above.
Anyway, you do have options. I always suggest going with a higher deductible just so you have catostrphic care, and that ticket to the hospital! That combined, with a good PPO network should help keep your health costs, and your premiums down. Plus, higher deductibles plans are easier to get issued.

Individual Dental Insurance
What's the deal?
Well for the best coverage, I'd suggest a dental indemnity coverage, combined with some sort of dental network that negotiates fees for various services. As you are probably aware, most dental insurance for individuals, and some group dental policies, will have waiting periods for serious conditions (i.e. crowns, root canals, etc.). It is more likely that they will pay for things like teeth cleanings right away. Normal dental work like fillings fall somewhere in between. That may have a short, or no, waiting period.
Dental insurance for individuals can be expensive. If you need work done quickly, would like to minimize what you get for the premium you pay, or just cannot afford another inusrance preium, dental discount networks are an inreasingly popular alternative.
I like these two:
TeamCorp Valu+ Plan comes with group dental benefits plus many other health benefits like Vision, Health, etc. Click Here to Learn About Valu+ Dental!
For a cheap dental plan alternative that still gives great value, try a selection from DentalPlans.Com - Some dental plans start at 79.95 A YEAR!
Good Luck with Your Dental Plan Search!

Term Vs. Permanant Life Insurnace
O.K. now here's the big term vs. permanant life insurance debate.
1. Term life insurance is purchases for a time period. This period is usually 10, 20, or 30 years. The thought is that it is purchasing 'pure life insurance' for the period of time that a person will actually need it. This is usually the least expensive way to initially buy insurance - but does it work out cheaper in the long run? After the term, the consumer will have to renew the insurance at substantially higher rates because the client is older - if the client can renew at all. FOr young people to middle aged peole who are saving or investing, or who want to protect an asset that will be paid off (i.e. a home mortgage), term is probably a great solution.
2. Perm. Life insurance may be universal or whole life. For a given age and health status this insurance will have higher premiums than term, but the rates are usually given to last the life of the policyholder. So if a consumer buys a whole life policy at 40, he/she will pay the same premiums at the age of 80 - a much better deal than trying to find a term policy as a senior citizen!

Online Quotes or Not to Online Quote
Hi. Sorry Thanksgiving seemed to take a toll, but I'm back to work now.
I don't know why everybody doesn't do a little insurance shopping online. Even if you prefer to talk to an agent, it doesn't hurt to do some homework before you set an appointment. That way, you can have a good idea what product you are most interested in, and a good idea what your budget will allow.
If you're looking for health insurance, short term medical, student medical, life, auto, long term care, or homeowners insurance, a great place to start is:
247quoteus.com
The agent is licensed in Texas so some resources are specific to that state, but all types of insurance can be quoted there. Some products can even be purchased online. Saves one the trouble of an appointment with a GASP insurance salesman, doesn't it?
Hope you had a great turkey day!

Part D or not to Part D
If you receive Medicare Part A and/or Part B, you will eligable to sign up for the new RX insurance card. Most people will have to pay a premium, and these premiums may vary depending upon the type of plan selected.
The plans are being sold by private insurance companies, but you may elect to have the premium deducted from your social security check.
If you already have prescription coverage through a Medicare Advantage Plan, Private Insurance Plan, etc. you may not have to sign up for a Part D plan. In fact, it may be to your disadvantage to do so. Be sure and check with your current insurance company to be sure.
More Later... This could be a book.

Be Careful of No Medical Life
One popular life insurance product advertises that you do not need to take a medical exam. This may be o.k. and it may not.
Insurance companies charge different rates for people in different health categories. Often, easy issue policies are all standardized to a higher risk rating, meaning you will pay a higher premium.
It may be in your best interest to go to the trouble of getting a blood exam, so you know that you are getting the lowest possible risk. This will mean you will get the lowest possible risk.
On the other hand, pulling an MIB profile from the medical database may be enough for a low risk category. You want to check for sure, to know what sort of rate you are getting.
