Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to change my plan ancillary every year?
No, many of these type plans will increase benefit payouts to reward and incentivize clients who continue to pay their premiums. There is also a chance that if you end coverage and then want to reapply in the future, your premium might go up, or you will need to start up a new waiting period or be subject to preexisting coverage limitations. If you pick a good plan from the start, you will want to keep it.
What is the best way to figure out the best plan for me?
I encourage my clients to look at their own health care expense history and family health history. For example, if you are accident prone, you may want an accident policy that pays for broken bones, x-rays, and emergency room visits. If several of your older relatives had cancer, strokes, or heart attacks you may want a critical illness or hospital plan.
Most people like Dental/Vision plans to help reduce the costs for preventative costs. I recommend that you find out which plans your Dentist takes and then look at those plans.
I also think it is important to look at the financial strength and reputation of the insurance company.
Can I travel or move with these plans?
Yes. Most plans offer nationwide networks or have out of network provisions.
Do I need to cancel these when I go on Medicare?
It really depends on the plan you have and the Medicare Supplement or Advantage plan you choose.
You may want to keep your Dental/Vision plan if you choose a Supplement plan because these do not offer any coverage in that area. However, most Medicare Advantage plans do cover dental and vision benefits and so you may want to cancel your individual plan if your dentist take and advantage plan.
Now a Cancer or Critical illness plan is the exact opposite; you may not see the benefit of keeping it with a Supplement plan but will want to keep it to give you added coverage while on the Advantage plan.
I recommend you call you agent or client services line and discuss your concerns prior to cancelling any policy.
