The Advantages of a Brokerage

Because we offer a wide variety of health and Final Expense plans, you might think we’re an insurance company — or even a government agency – but we’re not.

We’re actually an insurance brokerage, which means we don’t create Medicare or Final Expense plans. Instead, we represent a variety of carriers that offer multiple plan options — which is why we can offer you a broad selection of coverage options.

Medicare Basics

If you’re just looking for a Medicare plan, PlanEnroll can help you find the right one to fit your needs. But first, it helps to understand what it is. To that end, we’ve created a brief overview that explains:

  1. What Medicare is
  2. The types of Medicare — Medicare Part A, Medicare Part B, Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage), Medicare Part D and Medigap
  3. When you can enroll in Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage

Final Expense Basics

In addition to Medicare plans, PlanEnroll also offers many Final Expense policies.

But what is Final Expense coverage?

Final Expense is a type of life insurance designed to cover the costs associated with a person’s funeral, burial and other end-of-life expenses. If you’re older, it can be a great way to lessen the financial burden on loved ones after your passing.

Compared to other types of life insurance, Final Expense policies offer a lower coverage amount because they’re focused only on relieving the burden of end-of-life expenses. They’re typically easier to qualify for and often requiring minimal or no medical underwriting. Also, a Final Expense policy cannot be canceled and coverage is guaranteed.

Most people over 50 can apply for a Final Expense policy. You will not be required to have a medical exam or grant access to your medical records. However, some policies do require that you answer some health questions. Because of the health questions, not everyone will qualify for a policy with coverage that begins on day one.

Policy premiums depend on your age and health. Where allowed by state law, they may also depend on your gender. Also, many Final Expense policies have an upper age limit of 85, which is higher than some traditional life insurance policies.

PlanEnroll can connect you with a licensed insurance agent who will help you search for, compare and select a policy that can be a good fit for you. To begin your search for Final Expense policies, click here.

Final Expense life insurance may not cover the entire cost of your funeral and may be used by the designated beneficiary for any purpose rather than being limited to specific funeral services and providers. Final expense life policies will have a lower face value than most traditional term or whole life policies as they are intended for a specific purpose of covering those final costs rather than providing comprehensive support for surviving family members. This type of policy generally doesn’t require a medical exam, but premiums will be higher the older you are, and some benefit payouts may be limited during the first few years of coverage for those with significant health issues. Reducing or skipping premium payments will impact the amount of interest paid and may impact how long the policy lasts. Accessing the cash value of a policy will reduce the available cash surrender value and the death benefit. A policy owner does not have the ability to make unlimited payments into the policy. If too much is paid into the policy, it will become a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC) and withdrawals and loans will be taxable. Coverage may not be available in all states and may vary by state. Policy guarantees are based upon the claims-paying ability of the issuing life insurance company.

Enrollment depends on the plan’s contract renewal. Enrollment in a plan may be limited to certain times of the year unless you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period or you are in your Medicare Initial Enrollment Period. Not all plans offer all of these benefits. Benefits may vary by carrier and location. Limitations and exclusions may apply. Every year, Medicare evaluates plans based on a 5-star rating system.

An annuity is an insurance contract between an insurance company and a contract owner. An annuity can be used to help save for supplemental income for retirement and/or preserve funds already saved for retirement. Interest and other guarantees in an annuity are subject to the claims-paying ability and financial strength of the insurance company that issues the product. Annuities are long-term vehicles. Many have surrender charges over many years, and withdrawals from an annuity prior to age 59 ½ may be subject to a 10% tax penalty. The growth in an annuity is tax-deferred, but taxes will be owed on withdrawals. Any withdrawal will reduce your annuity insurance contract value. Consult your annuity insurance contract for specific terms and conditions. Insurance agents do not provide, tax, legal or accounting advice.

Multi-year guaranteed annuities (MYGAs) are a type of fixed annuity with a guaranteed interest rate that typically lasts for multiple years. Fixed Indexed Annuities (FIAs) do not involve investments in an index. The index performance used to calculate credited interest typically does not include dividends. Some FIAs involve the use of multiple indexes. Methodologies for crediting interest differ among FIA products (e.g., point to point, high water mark, annual resets, single year, multi-year, etc.). Interest crediting methodologies may include caps, participation rates, spreads, margins, or fees that may change from time to time depending on the product.
