Life Insurance Products

- Many people think that life insurance is only for people with families. While it is true that life insurance can help provide for the needs of dependents, life insurance also can be an important part of a well-thought-out estate, business succession or charitable giving plan. And permanent life insurance offers many living benefits as well, such as tax-deferred accumulation. For all of these reasons, life insurance can be important for someone starting out — or for someone who's starting over.

You can use the articles on this page to learn more about the various types of life insurance that are available.

• Whole Life - Whole Life insurance is also known as permanent insurance. You receive coverage for your entire life, as long as premiums (which are a set amount per period) are paid. Whole life policies accumulate cash value tax-deferred.
• Term Life - Term Life policies provide coverage for a specific amount of time – such as 5 years, 10 years or 20 years. Term premiums are often less expensive than whole life premiums, but once the term of the policy is complete, coverage terminates. There is no accumulation of cash value.
• Universal Life - Like Whole Life, Universal Life is a permanent insurance policy, which means that it covers you for your entire life, as long as premiums are paid. Universal life, however, offers you flexibility that enables you to change your premiums and death benefit as your needs change.
• Variable Universal Life# - Variable Universal Life combines the premium and death benefit flexibility of a Universal Life policy with investment opportunities. You can allocate your premium amongst a variety of professionally managed investment divisions plus a fixed account. Of course, with investment opportunities comes risk along with the potential for reward.
• Joint Life - Joint Whole Life Insurance – also called “first-to-die life insurance” – insures two people on the same policy. The proceeds of the policy are paid at the time of the first individual’s death.
• Survivorship Life - Survivorship life insurance – available as whole life, universal life or variable universal life# – covers two people and provides payment of the proceeds when the second insured individual dies. Survivorship life insurance is often used to help meet estate planning or business continuation goals.
• Asset Preserver - Asset Preserver is a considered a “blended product.” It is a universal life insurance policy* with a long-term care option that allows you to access the death benefit, income tax-free, to pay for certain long-term care needs. Your beneficiaries receive whatever death benefit moneys you have not used toward long-term care.

Long Term Care Insurance - We offer a number of Long Term Care insurance options, designed to help protect your assets and preserve your freedom of choice.

Annuities - An annuity is a unique financial vehicle designed to help you accumulate money for your retirement and/or turn a lump-sum of money into a guaranteed stream of income payments. These financial vehicles can be used in a multitude of ways to help you meet your retirement needs on a tax-favored basis.


Deferred annuities offer the advantage of tax-deferral and can be used to accumulate money for retirement.

Income annuities are used to generate a stream of income payments that is guaranteed to last for as long as you need it to -- even for the rest of your life.

You can use the information below to help you learn more about which annuity might be right for you.

• Variable Deferred Annuities# - A Variable Deferred Annuity offers the advantage of tax deferral and can be used to accumulate money for retirement. The policy’s accumulated value – and sometimes the amount of monthly annuity benefit payments – fluctuates with the performance of your investment account.
• Fixed Interest Deferred Annuities - With a Fixed Interest Deferred Annuity, the interest rate on your policy is guaranteed never to fall below a certain amount. For many people, this provides a measure of security about their investment.
• Immediate Income Annuities - As the name implies, Immediate Income Annuities are annuities under which income payments begin immediately – one period after the annuity is purchased.
• Special Annuities - "Special Annuities" are actually two different annuity products in one. Our “Split Annuity” is used to generate income while preserving principal. Our “Income Enhancer” is used to generate income while accumulating money in a variable annuity# that has the potential to help you keep pace with inflation.

  MANAGED CARE PRODUCTS
  HMO Plans
  
  
  
  
  For companies seeking the greatest degree of cost control over health care benefits, an HMO plan can be the ideal choice. Under this plan, employees and their covered dependents select a personal physician, called a Primary Care Physician (PCP), from the network of participating providers located in their service area.
  
  When using the services of their PCP and obtaining referrals through this physician to other participating providers, employees will usually receive the full range of HMO benefits.
  
  
  Point-of-Service
  
  
  
  For companies that currently offer their employees traditional indemnity plan benefits but are looking to make the transition into managed care, a Point-of-Service (POS) Plan can provide the perfect vehicle.
  
  When your employees enroll in the POS Plan, they will select a Primary Care Physician (PCP) from the HMO network, just as with the HMO stand-alone plan. They will generally receive enhanced benefits when using their PCP's services or those performed by other participating providers, referred by their PCP.
  
  However, employees and their covered family members may also select health care providers without referral from their PCP any time care is required throughout the calendar year and receive the more traditional indemnity benefits. In exchange for this flexibility, employees pay a greater portion of their health care costs.
  
  
  Preferred Provider Plans
  
  
  
  Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO) plans allow employers to encourage their employees to seek care in a cost-effective managed care environment, while retaining the employees' freedom of provider choice. Employees can generally receive richer benefits by using the PPO network of Preferred Providers. Or they may choose any licensed doctor or hospital and receive reduced out-of-network benefits in return for greater freedom or provider choice.
  
  
  
  Multi-Option Point-of-Enrollment Plans
  
  The Multi-Option Point-of-Enrollment Plans offer you an option of two plan combinations to provide for your employees - either an HMO/PPO plan or an HMO/POS plan. A few carriers will allow you to offer all three types of plans in a Point of Enrollment Plan. This enables the employee to select either an HMO/POS/PPO plan at the time of enrollment.
  
  
  HMO/PPO PLAN
  
  
  
  If you select the HMO/POS option, your employees and their eligible dependents can choose HMO coverage or PPO (Preferred Provider Option) coverage during an annual open enrollment period. The HMO portion of the Point-of-Enrollment plan operates as previously described.
  
  If employees choose the PPO side of the plan, they receive richer benefits when using the PPO network's Preferred Providers. Or, they may choose to go out-of-network and use any licensed doctor or hospital and receive traditional indemnity benefits. However, they will pay a greater portion of their health care costs.
  
  or
  
  HMO/POS PLAN
  
  
  
  If you select the HMO/POS plan, your employees and their eligible dependents have a choice of the HMO or Point-of-Service plan during an annual enrollment period.
  
  Whether you purchase the HMO/PPO option or the HMO/POS option for your company, you'll be providing your employees with the flexibility they want, while taking advantage of the increased cost controls these plans provide.
