When dealing with the average agent you will most likely be presented with policies that are of a type that is referred to, (in the industry), as “cash value” or “permanent” insurance. These products are often called “Whole Life”, “Universal Life”, “Variable Universal Life” or some variation of those names. These are products where, in essence, the insurance company has bundled together a death benefit and some type of account that accumulates a balance of cash, (often called an accumulation account). The way these policies work is part of the monthly amount paid to the insurance company is used to purchase the death benefit, (i.e. pay the premium), pay any required fees, and then remaining amount of the monthly payment is placed in an account where it is supposed to earn interest and grow.

What most people don’t know is that there is another option available that the agent has somehow “neglected” to present. This other option is very rarely offered to the consumer on a regular basis. This is unfortunate. I feel it is a very powerful alternative to the other products available. What is it? It is an option where the customer purchases a term insurance policy and invests the difference of the cost in a stand-alone savings/investment “vehicle”. Here is an illustration*.

First let’s look at one type of insurance plan that is often presented by agents. We’ll call it, “Plan A”

Let’s pretend that Mr & Mrs Smith want to have life insurance, (and yes, they should have it). They are both in their mid thirties and have two children. Their budget is such that they can afford to spend about $150 a month. The first type of insurance under consideration is the “whole life” policy. The Smiths are probably able to get a policy that provides $100,000 death benefit on him, and $75,000 on her. The coverage will last from now until age 100. When the Smiths reach the age of 100, the insurance company promises to pay them $100,000. If they decide they want to “take the money and run” before that, (at age 65, for example), they can terminate the policy, (end the insurance), and take what ever cash has accumulated to that point, (probably about $50,000 to $65,000). Ok, that sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

Let’s look at the other option. We’ll call it, “Plan B”

With a 30 year, renewable term policy, Mr. Smith can get about $200,000 of coverage, Mrs Smith about $150,000, and they can get $10,000 on each of the kids. Total monthly cost, about $53. Remember, they budgeted $150 per month for this, so what would happen if they took the $97 and put it into some type of savings “vehicle”? Over the course of 30 years, $97 a month could grow to about $300,000 **. This is what is referred to as, “buy term and invest the difference”.

With this type of policy, at age 65, Mr & Mrs Smith would have the choice of continuing their insurance coverage if they felt they needed it, AND they could also take the $300,000 and use it how ever they see fit, (without ending their insurance coverage). Some agents might argue that the premium on the term policy will be higher at re-newal. That may be true, but the $300,000 would also be creating about $2500 in interest income each month**. More than enough money to pay for any modest rise in the premium costs. (Besides, if the Smiths have $300,000 saved up, do they really need to buy that much insurance any more?)

So which would you choose?

(A) Pay $150 per month for $100,000 in coverage and get $100,000 at age 100

-OR-

(B) Pay $53 per month for $200,000 in coverage and set aside $97 per month in savings, and have $300,000 at age 65 **

So why don’t insurance agents present this second option? (I’ll let you answer that one yourself)

There are some other differences between the two plans. For example, what happens if the Smiths need to use some of the money that was accumulated?

If the Smiths had gone with Plan (A), in order to get the money they needed, they would have two choices.

(1) They can terminate the policy and take the entire amount of what has accumulated. They would have their money, but now they don’t have any insurance coverage.

(2) The other choice is to borrow the money they need from the insurance company, using their account as collateral. Their coverage would still be there, but they would have to make payments on the loan, (including interest), in addition to their monthly premium payment. If one of them should die before the loan is paid off, the outstanding loan balance is subtracted from the death benefit. For example, if Mr Smith dies and they still owe $5,000 on the loan, the death benefit paid to his wife would be $95,000. ($100,000 - $5,000). Also the $5000 could become taxable as non-death benefit income.

With Plan (B), the savings account is separate from the insurance policy so the Smiths can take money out of their account, and it would not have any effect on the insurance coverage. The policy does not have to be canceled, and the amount of the death benefit paid is not reduced. Depending on the type of savings “vehicle” the Smiths use, they might have to pay some type of tax or interest penalty on the money they withdraw, but again, there is no effect on the insurance coverage.

As you can see there can be some clear advantages to buying term coverage over a “cash value” type of policy. Which type of policy works best for you is strictly a matter of personal choice, but that is the key word, “CHOICE”. You deserve to be shown ALL of the options available that best meet YOUR needs and not be steered into something just because the agent gets more commission.

Let’s face it, when the average person thinks of health insurance, they think of premiums and co-pays, whether or not the insurance is comprehensive or if additional cancer policies are needed. Pre-existing conditions, deductibles, and Cobra payments often never make their way into the thought process. Medical providers must take a serious look at the insurance they accept, although it may be at the opposite end of the tongue depressor.

Instead of worrying about having the money to pay for insurance, they have to worry about actually getting paid from the insurance. Everyone has bills to pay, even doctors. And don’t forget about hospitals which have millions of dollars every year to pay so they can offer you a service. And while some hospitals, especially teaching hospitals, do receive endowments, the bulk of the bills have to be covered by payments from insurance companies. While a co-pay they receive may help some with their cash flow, an office can not stay open without constant payment from their insurance companies. This means that an insurance company that doesn’t work well with the accounting office isn’t going to be very popular.

Needless to say, there are hundreds of insurance companies out there. To be able to cover a large amount of people, which in turns increases their profit margin, medical providers must accept insurance from many different insurance companies. While this means that continued cash flow occurs, and the associated profits as well, it also means that handling insurance claims becomes more difficult with each additional insurance carrier they support.

All expenses need to be paid for, from band-aids to suture needles to the stickers given to children for good behavior. To cut down on the confusion and amount of time to decipher, coding systems have been simplified. And while the codes used may be Greek to the common consumer, each code represents money to both the doctor/hospital and the insurance company. A common coding strategy that works with their process as well as other companies is one aspect that must be considered. While this used to mean they had to learn a different system for each company, as the health care industry grows, there must be compatibility between them all. Having software that will support multiple insurance companies does simplify the accounting job, but if insurance companies don’t adhere to a standard coding schema, that could reduce the number of health care providers that will use their services.

Overall, your medical providers have to be just as careful and picky when choosing to accept an insurance from their patients. Denied claims or late payments are annoying to us because of the other bills we have to pay. These are even more bothersome to your doctor as it can cause a financial crisis for their business. So, making sure your health care provider carries your insurance, or that you have insurance with a company your health care provider works with is of vital importance.

As a WAHM, it was important to Andi Beark to find Colorado health insurance providers that offered policies that would fit her family’s needs. From regular check-ups to long term hospital stays, she wanted to ensure her family would be covered. Rocky Mountain Health Plans helped her to find a great Colorado family health insurance that offered complete protection for these things and more.

1. Don’t put it off
Auto insurance rates go up and down — by hundreds of dollars a year. Which is why you should compare rates often. But how often is enough? I recommend you should compare your rate when the following events happen in your life.

* Your premium goes up
* You’re unhappy with your service
* You buy a new car
* You move
* Your marital status changes
* You add a new driver to your policy
* Your salary or assets increase
* Two years pass since you last compared rates.

2. Be ready
Getting a quote for car insurance is easy. In fact, you can get a quote online in less than 7 minutes if you have everything you need. Before you get started, make sure you have the following information available.

* Your Current Insurance Declarations Page
* Year make model and VIN of each car you’re insuring
* Your annual mileage and distance to work
* Value of any custom or after-market equipment
* Type of alarm or theft recovery device
* Name, occupation, gender, number of years licensed, and Driver’s License number of each household member old enough to drive.
* Information about any accidents or violation in the past 3 years including dates, who was at fault, if someone was injured and the claim amount.

3. Make sure you’re getting what you need
Before you get started, take a look at your current auto policy and make sure it’s giving you the level of protection you want or need. Consider increasing your deductible to lower your rate. Or increasing your liability limits to cover your new home or new income level. If you have an older car find out what it is worth. It may be wise to drop collision coverage and save some money.

4. Ask about discounts
Be sure you’re getting credit where credit is due. Not all car insurance companies offer the same discounts. But most companies will discount your rate if you have more than one car on your policy or if your car has safety features like air bags, automatic seatbelts and anti-lock brakes. Some companies even have discounts for young drivers who earn good grades or complete driver education courses.

5. Shop around
All of these tips are a great way to reduce your rate and get the best value for your insurance dollar, however, the quickest and easiest way to see the biggest drop in premiums is to shop around. Auto insurance rates can vary by hundreds of dollars, if not thousands, from one company to the next. And the service and features you get with one company may not be included with another. Shopping around and comparing rates is the only way to be sure you’re getting the best coverage and the best rate.

Before you’re in an accident …

Find out what kind of service you can expect.
Most people don’t give their car insurance much thought. They get a quote with a few companies, pick the cheapest and expect that if they have a claim it will be handled quickly and fairly. However, poor service, repair delays and billing problems can cost more in time and frustration than any amount saved. Before you buy, consider what kind of service you can expect. A good clue is how you’re treated when you call for a quote.

Make sure you have enough liability coverage.
Liability coverage pays for other people’s costs if you cause an accident. The Insurance Information Institute recommends that you have at least $100,000 of bodily injury protection per person and $300,000 per accident. But if your net worth is more than $300,000, consider buying additional liability protection today.

Make sure you have enough money put aside for your deductible.
Choosing a higher deductible can be a smart way to save money on your car insurance. The higher your deductible, the lower your rate. Just make sure you can afford to pay your portion of the auto claim.

After an accident …
If you’re unfortunate enough to find yourself involved in an accident here’s what you need to do before you call your insurance company…

1. Call the police (911 in most areas). Report any injuries.

2. Write down the other car’s make, model, and plate number. Get the driver’s name, address, and license number…get the owners name, too. Most states require drivers to have an insurance identification card in the vehicle and it will provide most of this information.

3. Write down the names and addresses of all passengers and witnesses.

4. Get the officer’s name and badge number. Ask how you can obtain a copy of the police report for your insurance claim.

5. Do not admit to guilt, do not accept money from the other driver, and do not agree to forget about a minor accident.

6. Write down what happened: include the time of day, weather conditions, hazards, road conditions, and driving speed. Make a note of any prior damage on other cars.

Once you collect this information, contact your auto insurance company as soon as possible. Many insurance companies have 24-hour claims service by phone. So you can call your insurer right from the scene. Your insurance ID card should provide the number.

That’s why it pays to shop around. You can have someone do it for you. But who wants the extra cost of an agent, broker or who is often a representative of several companies and may not have your best interests in mind?

Do it yourself and get better coverage, service and savings. Just follow these steps.

Make sure you get an accurate quote.
If you want to compare auto insurance quotes, you need accurate information. So before you start, take a few minutes to make sure you have the following information available.

Have the following information on hand when you shop:

* Your Current Insurance Declarations Page
– By matching your current deductibles and coverage limits you can be sure you’re getting the same protection.

* Vehicle Information
– Year make model and VIN
– Annual miles and distance to work
– Value of any custom or after-market equipment
– Type of alarm or theft recovery device

* Driver Information (For each household member old enough to drive)
– Drivers name, occupation, gender, number of years licensed, and Driver’s License number.
– Any accidents or violation in the past 3 years including dates, who was at fault, if someone was injured and the claim amount.

Get more than one quote.
If you’re only getting one quote to compare with your current policy, you’re probably going to end up spending too much. There are a lot of car insurance companies out there and each one has its own way of determining rates. Multiple quotes will give you a better opportunity to make the right choice. Some website aggregates will give you an opportunity to get several quotes from a limited number of companies. But to get a better understanding of the features and service a company offers you should contact them yourself. The service you get shopping is a good indicator of what you can expect if you purchase a policy.

Check the fine print.
When shopping for car insurance you need to consider more than price. To find out what you’re getting, what’s covered and what isn’t, remember these tips.
– Get your quote in writing and confirm the accuracy of each vehicle and driver you are insuring.
– Make sure your deductibles and coverage limits match your current policy.
– Ask about special features, such as Emergency Roadside Assistance.
– Find out if there are additional membership or broker fees.
– Are repairs guaranteed for as long as you own your car?
– What kind of payment options are available?

1. Take your time
If you want to keep your car insurance rate as low as possible take your time and be a safe driver. This may seem obvious but the worst thing you can do is to have an at-fault claim or a speeding ticket. And most accidents and speeding tickets happen when the driver is in a hurry.

Give yourself enough time. Stay off your phone. Don’t text. And don’t fiddle around with your GPS. Spend the extra minute. Pull over and take care of it. It could save more than a few hundred dollars on your insurance. It could save someone’s life.

2. Watch your credit.
Most insurers use a customer’s credit history or credit score when determining their premium. Research has shown that drivers with good credit or a high credit score number are responsible, cautious, and less likely to file a claim. In turn, having poor credit or a low score tells an insurance company that you are under financial stress and are more likely to take risks.

One of the worst things you can do is stop paying your insurance bill — even if you’re getting ready to switch companies. Missing a payment or letting your auto policy lapse not only puts you at risk if you have an accident, it can lower your credit score and make it more expensive to get car insurance.

3. Shop around.
The cost of car insurance can vary by hundreds of dollars or more from one company to the next for the same coverage. Every company operates differently. Some sell direct to consumers. Other companies use agents and brokers who get paid additional fees or commissions. And just as rates vary, so does the level of features and service. While a company includes emergency roadside assistance at no additional charge, others give you a bare-boned policy and little more.

Just because your insurance company gave you the best rate a few years ago doesn’t mean they’re giving you the best rate now. To be sure you’re getting the price and quality you deserve, you should secure at least three quotes from three different companies every three years.

One reason a lifestyle of eating healthy is not a direct factor in determining insurance rates is that a healthy diet is quite difficult to quantify. One person’s concept of a healthy diet may seem hedonistic to the next or entirely too austere for someone else. Even members of the medical profession offer conflicting information on dietary matters so there remains no one-size-fits-all healthy diet to use as a standard of measure against all others.

The merits of eating a healthy diet may become obvious in a much more indirect way, however, so keep it in mind when comparing insurance quotes for any type insurance. Rates are based on age but other issues, such as weight and family medical history, come into play, too.

The actuarial tables that are used to determine insurance rates are based on weight as well as age. Individuals who fall below the desired weight range are more prone to suffer from health issues which shorten their lives as are people who fall in the category of overweight or obese. A low weight can be unhealthy, but the more often than not in today’s society excess weight is a more prevalent concern.

Excess weight can trigger medical conditions such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. All these conditions jeopardize a person’s quality of life and longevity.

Family history may be a contributing factor to one’s predisposition to develop any of these medical conditions but a lifestyle of eating nutritious foods can minimize the chance they will develop in an individual and can usually make the disorder much easier to treat or maintain once it’s developed. Adherence to a healthy diet is usually reflected in one’s weight even when family history appears ominous.

People who enjoy a nutritious diet are more likely to exercise routinely, too, and this factor also boosts vitality, strengthens the immune system, and adds years of quality to a life span. This correlation is taken into consideration whenever insurance quotes are calculated.

When rates are determined, dietary and exercise habits will not be recognized as a point for point advantage in premium rate reduction but their existence will become the advantage when weight is compared against age and family history. An applicant of the same age and with similar family medical history who is of healthy weight will almost always be quoted cheaper rates than someone of the same age and family history but who is not in the healthy range category.

In the US many patients have access to basic forms of infertility insurance coverage as part of their employer’s health package. Unfortunately, however, many others who assume they have coverage are sadly mistaken. The issue is complicated by the numerous ways insurance companies attempt to define medical conditions in order, as it would appear to many, to evade financial responsibility.

The fundamental problem centers around insurance companies being heavily profit driven; making the least amount of profit when they have to pay out the most benefits. As a result insurance companies can be expected, where possible, to protect profits by finding ways of restricting the claims of policy owners, or preventing individuals from purchasing policies that are likely to prove expensive for the insurance company in the long run.

New laws will help protect a number of insurance holders - evasions based on claims that infertility was caused by a pre-existing condition may fail under the most recent health care legislation. However, legal arguments based upon the assumption that the ability to conceive is an unnecessary function in a healthy human are more likely to remain a strong legal loophole for insurance companies trying to avoid providing strong proactive infertility insurance coverage.

The core of the debate involves the central definition of health. The ability to survive in good health without having children appears to be a reasonable assumption for many, and by that argument the inability to have children is a great misfortune for some but not actually a matter of health per se. Legislatively speaking, a patient’s battle to obtain infertility treatments is seen as being little different from a fight to receive cosmetic surgery through insurance - a luxury health service rather than an essential one. By this argument infertility insurance is considered to be a luxury insurance only.

The simplest way to ensure that you have sufficient coverage is to specifically purchase an auxiliary policy covering fertility. As with any specialized policy, however, the premiums for such coverage can be relatively expensive. New legal considerations will reduce the problems of pre-existing conditions, making it easier for couples to obtain infertility insurance coverage, but the costs will nevertheless remain high. The advantage, however, remains very real, especially if you already have known risk factors for infertility.

The cost of one round of IVF (in vitro fertilization) is roughly $7,000 (USD). Several cycles are typically needed to come close to assuring conception in those conditions where IVF is appropriate. Additional therapies are generally needed, and certain conditions will require even more expensive therapies. Simple math will make it clear that an insurance policy, even an expensive one, will save substantial money over extended rounds of fertility treatments without insurance.

To find an appropriate infertility insurance policy it is advisable to explore several routes. If you have employer-provided insurance firstly investigate what would be involved in ensuring your policy covers infertility, or what would be involved in extending the policy. If you need to obtain separate fertility coverage, check through your work provider first. It would also be a good idea to confer with insurance agents, and to inquire with your doctor and your support group.

Following passage in the Senate, the health care bill will now go to the congressional conference committee, where the Senate bill must be harmonized with the House’s version of health legislation that was passed in November. However, there are a few differences between the House and Senate bill that needs to be resolved before the President provides his signature. For instance, unlike the House’s health bill, the Senate’s bill does not contain a Public Option. As well, the Senate bill includes a tax on the so called ‘Cadillac’ health insurance plans of which many in the house object. There are also much tougher anti-abortion funding restrictions in the Senate bill.

After passage of the Senate’s health bill, Senate Democratic leaders said they were taking the process day by day. To bring both the Senate and House bill together, members do not normally add anything new to the bill. Both the House and Senate must pass matching versions of the bill.
After the Senate and House representatives come to an agreement on a single health reform bill, each chamber must then approve the bill. The bill will then be sent to President Obama to be signed into law. Because the bill is sharply divided along party lines, it will likely be a contentious time for both Democrats and Republicans. Republicans have promised to continue to try to block passage of the 2009 Health Care Bill. Most of the impending health care reforms will not kick in until 2013, so people should still take the opportunity to compare cheaper insurance rates from different health insurance providers.

There are a number of reasons why the cost of life insurance varies among states. Each state has its own insurance codes that regulate life insurance policies. States use the codes to regulate claims and provide certain provisions to protect their residents. Each state regulates such aspects as when a claim must be paid out following a death and the time period that is allowed for a person to cancel a policy without incurring a penalty fee. As well, insurance companies also look at a number of research statistics that will help them assess the risk of death. Such statistics can include: the population rates of such health conditions as obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, strokes…etc. As well, they also look at the rates of external influences causing death that can include the murder rate and car accident rate where one resides. The higher the rates of acquired illnesses causing death, then the higher the life insurance rates will likely be.

Term Insurance

Term policies come in many forms. Available to you are the 5 year, 10 year, 15 year, 20 year, 25 year, 30 year and term to age 65 plans. The one you choose would depend on how long you want to keep the protection. The time depends on whether you are single, married, whether you have dependent children or not. You may want to think about whether you have a dependent spouse as well.

Business people buy term insurance as well, whether we are talking about a business partnership, a sole proprietorship, an s corporation, a c corporation or a limited liability company.

Whole Life

When deciding between term, whole and universal life or any of the other types you may want to know which is the most popular with the consumer. The whole life policy is the most bought policy. Actually, the consumer prefers modified whole life policies or may be the non participating straight life policy as it costs less than the participating plan.

People like the idea that this policy lasts until they die even if death occurs at age 100. Another thing to keep in mind is that term policies don’t last very long. Why! I will tell you why. Apart from the fact that term policies are designed to last for a limited period of time these policies tend to be the first thing people drop when they have financial problems.

There is no cash value and the feeling is that they can always get another one. They pay very little attention to the fact that when they are ready to replace the policy it will cost more as this person is now older. There may also be the problem that the purchaser may not be in as good a physical condition as when the policy was initially purchased. This would result in a higher premium. The new policy may be rated, that means additional cost, or it may be declined by the company.

Whole life has a cash surrender policy, or a loan value.

Universal Life

Although this type of insurance is term based it does have a savings element attached, thus it is similar in many ways to the whole life policy.

Other Types

Term, whole and universal life policies are most purchased so most people have some idea how they work but what of graded premium, variable life and variable universal life. Graded premium life is simply a whole life policy with an initial premium a little more than half the cost of the regular whole life plan at the age of purchase. The premiums increase uniformly for a specific period, 5 or 10 years, then levels off at a little more than they would be had the premium cost been level from the beginning.

Variable universal life is permanent life insurance based and also includes an investment portfolio, like a mutual fund. Variable life insurance is whole life based and also has investments attached. A special license is needed to sell these policies.

Term, whole and universal life insurance sell more than any of the other policies.

It Depends On the Circumstances

There are a number of things that determine how much, if any, your rates will increase after an accident. If you were at fault, especially if you received a citation, you will more than likely see an increase in your premiums. Whether it’s a lot or a little depends on the severity of the accident and the damages your insurers have to pay. In a no-fault state where each person’s insurance pays for their damage regardless of who caused the accident, you won’t see as much of an increase as in other states that require whoever is at fault to pay damages.

If the damages are confined to the car, you won’t see as much of an increase as you would if there are injuries, especially those requiring hospitalization.

There are some insurance companies that offer “accident forgiveness” and if you have a policy with one of those, your rates will not increase if the collision is minor. But if you were issued a ticket for failure to yield, running a traffic signal or other moving violation you may see your rates go up.

MVR and CLUE

Two reports you should be aware of are the MVR and the CLUE. If you do get a traffic ticket, the Motor Vehicle Report will likely have a record of it. The Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange will also list it. CLUE is a database of claims history and lets insurers check your history of claims. This allows them to decide whether of not they want to assume the risk of insuring you. These reports contain dates, the amount of the claim or claims, a description of what kind of vehicle you were driving and the dollar amount of the settlement.

Never try to hide an accident from your insurance company! They may not find out about it right away if you pay the damages from your own pocket but rest assured they will check the MVR and CLUE databases before renewing your policy. While the CLUE may not have information on the collision, the MVR will have a record of any citation you receive. Your insurance company will know that you are dishonest and may refuse to renew!

If your rates do increase because of an accident you will likely not see it until your policy comes up for renewal. If you change insurance companies once your rates increase, you probably won’t save much money at that point. The best way to prevent your rates going up is to avoid distractions like cell phone usage and keep your attention on the road and the traffic!

One of the best ways of shopping for low insurance rates is to first get 2-3 quotes online. Once you
have them check with a local insurance agent and ask him to quote you the same. You’ll save time and money.
