STUDENT HEALTH

CHILD CARE FACILITY COVERAGE

Group Blanket Accident Insurance for registered children of licensed child care centers, nursery schools, Montessori schools, and private religious schools. Coverage is also offered for the staff if the school desires.

The facility simply completes the group policy application and their coverage will become effective on the date they request if the appropriate premium has been received before that date.

It helps provide peace of mind that the children of the facility are covered and protected in case of an accident.


COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY SPORTS COVERAGE

Group Blanket Accident Insurance for Athletic participants is designed to help meet the specific needs of the College or University. This insurance provides benefits to athletes during a school's regularly scheduled, sponsored, and supervised athletic activities to help with medical expenses that occur as a result of an accident.

Schools work in conjunction with insurance carriers’ staff to customize a program that helps fulfill the needs of the school. Maximum limits of up to $90,000 and are supplemental to the athlete's primary health insurance. Schools can choose various deductibles and benefit levels for one or two years.

 

COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY STUDENT HEALTH PLAN

Student health plans can be a valuable solution for college students and their families. Not only can they cost less than other plans – even less than staying on an employer-sponsored family plan – they can also provide better benefits.

Student plans come with added benefits because they’re designed with students in mind. Lower rates are possible partly because they’re based on a younger, healthier population and provide coverage for a limited time (just while they’re in school). Families and students can save money – and get high-quality coverage at the same time.


K-12 STUDENT-ATHLETE & ACCIDENT

Group Blanket Accident Insurance for schools can help cover all students, with an option to insure athletic participants. Coverage can also be supplemental to parental health insurance coverage so that it can help with high deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses for parents.

Schools work with insurance carriers’ staff to customize a program to help fulfill the school's needs. Sports and accident coverage or voluntary coverage can be issued as a blanket for all students.

These programs can help remove the worry of school-sponsored activities and athletic events by providing supplemental accident medical insurance for students and athletic participants.

 

ANNUITIES

An annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company in which you make a lump-sum payment or series of payments and, in return, receive regular disbursements, beginning either immediately or at some point in the future.
— Investopedia
 

GOAL OF AN ANNUITY

The goal of an annuity is to provide a steady stream of income during retirement. The funds build on a tax-deferred basis like 401(k) contributions and can only be withdrawn without penalty after age 59½.


FIXED ANNUITIES

Insurance contracts that pay you a specific or guaranteed interest rate on your contributions to your account.


VARIABLE ANNUITIES

Insurance contracts that pay interest fluctuate based on the performance of an underlying investment portfolio chosen by you. Variable annuities provide an opportunity for a potentially higher return, accompanied by greater risk.


INDEXED ANNUITIES

Insurance contracts that pay an interest rate based on the performance of a specified market index. Indexed annuities are sometimes referred to as equity-indexed or fixed-indexed annuities. It falls between risk and potential reward. You receive a guaranteed minimum payout, although a portion of your return is tied to the performance of a market index.

 
 

ADVANTAGES OF ANNUITIES

The biggest advantage of annuities is they allow you to sock away a larger amount of cash and defer paying taxes! Unlike other tax-deferred retirement accounts such as 401(k)s and IRAs, there is no annual contribution limit for an annuity. This allows you to put away more money for retirement and is this useful for those that are closest to retirement age and need to catch up. All the money you invest compounds year after year without any tax bill from the government. You have the ability to keep every dollar invested working for you and that is a big advantage over taxable investments. When you cash out, you can choose to take a lump-sum payment from your annuity, but many retirees prefer to set up guaranteed payments for a specific length of time or the rest of your life, providing a steady stream of income. The annuity serves as a complement to other retirement income sources, such as Social Security and pension plans.

 

EMPLOYER (GROUP) INSURANCE

 

Employer (Group) Insurance health plans provide coverage to company employees or members of an organization. Group health members receive insurance at a reduced cost because the insurer's risk is spread across a group of policyholders.

short-term disability | long-term disability | behavioral health | dental/vision | critical illness | accident

Medicare/Medicaid | accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) | hospital & doctor fixed indemnity | tri-term medical

student & faculty health | worksite plans | health/wellness programs | international travel

 

GROUP MEDICAL STOP LOSS

Provides excess loss insurance coverage protection to employers who choose to self-fund the health benefit plans they offer to their employees. Self-funding is an alternative to traditional fully-insured group health plans and is governed by federal law (ERISA).

The employer establishes (and can design the benefits for) their health plan, funded by the contributions of both the employer and participating employees. The self-funded plan is responsible only for its own incurred claims and other costs – and does not subsidize other employers’ plans, as is the case with fully insured plans because self-funded plans are regulated by federal rather than state laws, they are not required to include many of the costly benefit and administrative mandates otherwise imposed by the states upon fully-insured plans.

Self-funding offers employers the possibility of significant savings in the cost of providing medical expense coverage to their employees compared to traditional fully-insured plans: control over plan designs, lower state premium tax, enhanced cash flow, cost-effective claims processing, and timely reporting by an experienced Third Party Administrator, and avoidance of costly state mandates and the possibility that the employer may receive a return of any unused claim funds!


GROUP ACCIDENT

Accident-Only Insurance was created specifically for associations and groups to help address their unique needs.

A lump sum benefit is paid directly to the insured for injuries originating from a covered accident if the injury from the accident causes death, dismemberment, or loss of sight, speech, or hearing within 365 days from the date of the accident.

Today, consumers have increasing personal responsibility for health care costs. Help your association or group members protect themselves from the high costs of medical care associated with accidents. This valuable product can help them retain members as well.

 

ASSOCIATION GAP

Group Accident-Only Insurance is designed for Associations to help their members bridge benefit gaps in their major medical insurance policies.

Association Executives can choose from 5 plan options that can help provide benefits for:

  • Accidental Medical Expense

  • AD&D

  • Cancer

  • Heart Attack and Stroke

  • Hospital Sickness

Out-of-pocket expenses in major medical insurance policies continue to rise each year. With this coverage, Association members can receive benefits paid directly to the insured to help cover the maximum out-of-pocket limits of major medical insurance policies.

Benefits range from $1,000 to $10,000 and can help cover:

  • Lost wages

  • Living expenses

  • Deductibles

  • Prescriptions

  • Travel accommodations for treatment

  • Alternative medicine


GROUP GAP

An employer-sponsored group supplemental medical expense insurance can reduce the overall cost of an employer’s group medical coverage. When employers combine this with a major medical insurance plan, it will provide coverage that groups need and can afford.

After the deductible is satisfied, the coverage will pay benefits until the Maximum Benefit amount has been reached. Depending on the employer's plan design, it will help pay the charges for hospital and outpatient applied to the deductible, coinsurance, and co-payments. It can provide coverage towards the same expenses as your group's major medical insurance plan with the exception of certain exclusions outlined in the policy.

It can save employers 10-20% on their group medical premiums. This supplemental medical expense coverage helps maintain or improve benefits while providing additional hospital inpatient and outpatient coverage.
