Medicare Supplement

Medicare doesn’t provide all the health insurance coverage you need. That’s where a Medicare Supplement plan comes in. Also known as Medigap, these insurance plans not only help pay for additional eligible expenses not paid by Medicare, they provide the freedom for you to use your own physician, specialist, and medical facility.

We do not offer every plan available in your area. Any information we provide is limited to those plans we do offer in your area. Please contact Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE to get information on all your options.

Cancer/Heart/Stroke

Many advanced treatments that could increase your chances for cancer survival are not available locally. Travel, care, and other out-of-pocket expenses can be overwhelming.

A cancer plan will:

  • Pay cash directly to you upon first diagnosis of internal cancer or malignant melanoma
  • Be paid at one time in one lump sum, for you to use as you see fit
  • Offer an optional heart and stroke rider for additional premium

Accident

Accident recovery typically gets more challenging with age, which could set you back financially as well as physically. This policy helps cover expenses standard medical plans might not, such as ambulance, hospital costs, intensive care, physical therapy, family lodging and transportation, and more.

Long Term Care

A Long-Term Care insurance policy can ease the financial burden on your loved ones. Save your family thousands of dollars, helping to protect your life savings and reduce the stress on your spouse and children.

Long-term care services not typically covered by Medicare include:

  • A skilled nursing facility after 100 days
  • Bathing
  • Dressing
  • Transferring to and from a bed or chair
  • Eating
  • Personal hygiene

Long-term care today can cost $75,000 a year or more. The sooner you plan, the better your chances of avoiding financial challenges later.

Whole Life

This plan can give you the peace of mind of protecting your family from the high cost of final expenses.

Advantages include:

  • No medical exam or lab tests
  • No premium increase as long as you continue making payments
  • No decrease in coverage due to age or health

Medical Transportation

One ride to the hospital could cost you thousands of dollars out of pocket, and air transport could add up to $50,000 or more. Protect yourself with a Medical Transportation plan. Best-in-class emergency transportation coverage from (), available 24/7 at home or while traveling. It provides transportation of you, your spouse, children, grandchildren, even pets and vehicles at no additional cost. More complete coverage than competitors. No premiums, deductibles or other hassles. Pay once and you're covered!

Short Term Care/Home Health Care

If you’re like most people sidelined by an accident or health issue, you’d prefer to recover in the comfort of your own home. Home healthcare, which costs less and can be just as effective as care in a hospital or skilled nursing facility, is not always covered by standard health insurance. A Home Healthcare plan gives you the flexibility to choose the type of care that’s right for you.

Costs for hospital stays and for at-home and nursing facility recovery can be devastating. Even those who lead a healthy lifestyle may be at risk for an unexpected health issue requiring therapy and rehabilitation. This insurance can help you manage your expenses and preserve your savings. Benefits are paid directly to you or a medical provider that you designate and given in addition to any other health care coverage you may have.

Hospital Indemnity

It’s no secret that hospital visits can be expensive. However, there are other hospital expenses that can prove costly, as well. These include extended hospital stays, emergency room visits, ambulance transportation and more. That’s why having a supplemental hospital indemnity insurance policy could be a smart financial decision – one that provides additional protection for you and your loved ones.

Hearing

Hearing

Most insurance plans don't cover hearing healthcare. This no-cost program provides free hearing consultations and discounts on hearing aids through a nationwide network of hearing professionals.

Benefits include:

  • Free annual consultations for you & your immediate family
  • One year of free office visits (limit 6)
  • Nationwide network of 3,000+ locations
  • Discounts on hearing aids, tinnitus options & hearing protection products
ID/Fraud Protection

ID/Fraud Protection

Our world continues to become increasingly connected to the Internet. While this can be incredibly convenient, it also puts some things that matter most to you at risk, such as your identity, money and assets, family, reputation, and privacy. That’s where ID Protection comes in. An all-in-one digital safety net for you and your whole family includes credit monitoring, military-grade encryption, and insurance protection to help cover any eligible losses and fees due to ID theft and fraud.

Legal Assistance

Legal Assistance

Protect yourself and your family with a legal services plan. Members can access a nationwide network of attorneys for a low monthly cost with no copays, deductibles, or claim forms.
