“When Medicare began in 1966
it had 19 million beneficiaries
and a budget of $12 million.
By 2010, the program is projected
to serve 45 million Seniors, or
one out of seven Americans,
with a $300 million budget.”

Managed Care ‘Freedom’?
Questions Seniors should research
in the case of HMOs:
1. Can patients pick their primary-care physician?
2. What gets covered? Pre-existing conditions?
Emergency-room visits?
3. How much will it really cost? Are there
co-payments on prescriptions, routine doctor
appointments and visits to specialists?
4. What if a patient wants to see someone not
included in the plan?
Managed Care ‘Freedom’?
Questions Seniors should research
in the case of HMOs: (continued)
5.
How good are the HMO doctors? How many
are board-certified?
6.
Does the patient have access to any doctor in
the HMO plan?
7.
How convenient are the locations of HMO
facilities and physicians?
8.
What do current patients think of the HMO?
“First Year” Choices
Initial Medicare Supplement policy
selection is more critical than
customers may realize.
Only policies are standardized,
companies are not.

Choose a safe, strong, proven company —
once.

Research, understand and choose the best
coverage for you — once.

Qualify for coverage — once. Health status can
change and qualifying for a different policy (an
upgrade) may not be possible later.
Long Term Care Need

On average, one year in a nursing
home costs about $57,700.
- Evans Research, May 2003

The average cost of a nursing
home ranges from $98 – $457 per
day, depending on location.
- GE Financial, August 2003
Life Coverage
When a loved one dies many bills may
remain and the family will need to find
the money to pay them. Life insurance
coverage bought now can help to cover
these costs.

Life insurance for final expense needs is
generally for ages 50-80.

Provides quick access to pay final expense
costs.

Protects loved ones from financial burden
during a difficult time.

Options can include varying face amounts,
cash and loan values and living benefits.
Life Coverage

Life insurance is purchased
mainly to buy additional
financial protection for
families.

Individual life policies offer 2 basic types of
protection: covering a specified term or
permanently covering one’s whole life.

Ordinary life is the most widely used form of
life insurance protection and it is broken into
two types . . . whole life (permanent) and
term insurance.
Annuities

Most annuities are available
for ages 0-80.

Annuities are purchased for
the purpose of producing
periodic income at regular
intervals for a specific time
frame, such as 10, 20, 30
years or even life.

Annuities help assure protection against the
possibility of outliving one’s financial resources.

Typically, annuities are intended to provide
additional retirement income.
Life/Health Insurer Selection
Choose the right company.
Examine the company behind the product . . .
financial stability, leadership experience,
industry ratings and rankings.

Match coverage needs to budget.

The bottom line . . . what good is an insurer if
you can’t depend on them when you need
protection?
