PAYS YOU CASH – ABOVE ANY OTHER INSURANCE
We go beyond traditional coverage by providing you with a cash benefit that can be used for various purposes. Unlike some policies that might only cover specific expenses, pays directly to health providers only, or reimburses you later, this policy pays you cash directly.
BENEFITS ARE GUARANTEED RENEWABLE
With guaranteed renewable benefits, you can have peace of mind knowing that your coverage will remain in place as long as you continue to pay your premiums. Our benefits provide stable and dependable coverage to our policyholders, allowing you to plan for the long term with confidence
PREMIUM RATE WILL BE LOCKED IN AND REMAIN CONSISTENT
Having a locked-in premium rate provides you with financial predictability and peace of mind, knowing that your insurance costs won’t suddenly increase, regardless of changes in your health or age. Consistency in premium rates is a key advantage of our group benefits.
POLICIES ARE PORTABLE – THEY GO WITH YOU EVERYWHERE
Whether you’re considering retirement, going back to school, or simply exploring new opportunities, knowing that your policy is portable offers you the flexibility and peace of mind to make career moves without worrying about losing this crucial protection.
NO NETWORKS – NO DEDUCTIBLES – NO CO-PAYS
Most health insurance demands that you cover a portion of the cost. We don’t require anything from you other than proof that you have incurred a loss from an injury or critical illness which can be as simple as an hospital bill or documentation provided by your physician.
The ideal way to conclude a consultation and propose life insurance to a client is to summarize the key benefits and protections that the specific policy offers, while addressing any concerns or questions the client might have. Then, present a clear call to action, emphasizing the importance of securing their family’s financial future and offering support throughout the application process.
