Life insurance needs vary based on individual circumstances. We typically recommend considering:

• Income Replacement: 5-10 times your annual income
• Debt Coverage: Mortgage, car loans, credit cards, and other debts
• Education Costs: Future college expenses for children
• Final Expenses: Funeral and medical bills
• Emergency Fund: Additional cushion for unexpected expenses

Our advisors use specialized software to calculate your exact needs during a personalized consultation.

Several factors influence life insurance premiums:

• Age: Younger applicants typically pay lower premiums
• Health: Medical history, current health, and lifestyle habits
• Coverage Amount: Higher coverage amounts mean higher premiums
• Policy Type: Term insurance is usually less expensive than permanent
• Policy Length: Longer term periods may have higher premiums
• Occupation & Hobbies: High-risk jobs or activities can affect rates
• Family Medical History: Genetic predispositions to certain conditions

Yes, you may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period if you experience certain life events, including:

• Marriage or divorce
• Birth or adoption of a child
• Loss of other health coverage
• Permanent move to a new area
• Change in income that affects eligibility

You typically have 60 days from the qualifying event to enroll. We also offer short-term health insurance plans that can provide temporary coverage outside of open enrollment.

These are different types of health insurance networks:

• HMO (Health Maintenance Organization): Requires referrals from a primary care physician and typically has lower premiums but less flexibility
• PPO (Preferred Provider Organization): No referrals needed, more provider choice, but usually higher premiums
• EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization): No referrals needed but must use network providers except in emergencies

We'll help you choose the right network type based on your healthcare needs, budget, and preferred providers.

Most health insurance plans cover preventive services at 100% with no deductible, including:

• Annual physical exams
• Immunizations and vaccinations
• Cancer screenings (mammograms, colonoscopies, etc.)
• Blood pressure and cholesterol screenings
• Diabetes screenings
• Well-child visits

Coverage may vary by plan, so we recommend reviewing your specific policy details or consulting with our advisors.
