In today’s workplace market, offering an employee group benefits plan is almost standard. A group plan will offer protection for you and your employees for day to day health issues, however, even more important, a properly designed drug plan will provide catastrophic drug coverage in the event of a serious illness. Long Term Disability benefits provide income protection in the event of illness or injury, taking the burden off you and your employees should such an event occur.
Group benefits can cover everyone – even people with pre-existing conditions, as long as basic underwriting requirements are met.

Criticall illness insurance can provide you with a lump sum payment in the event of a diagnosis of one of a specific list of diseases. There are no limitations on how the money is utilized.
An employee assistance program can provide assistance to your employee’s with anything from getting help finding a nursing home for your elderly parent to assistance for new parents.
When insurance companies calculate rates for a group benefits plan, all of the information requested on the employee data form is taken into consideration. The income information is required when salary related benefits are being requested in a proposal. If the life insurance benefit is a multiple of income (i.e. 2 x annual salary) the actual benefit amount is exactly that. Also, long term disability benefits are a percentage of income.

If you do not currently have access to group health benefits, I can help you find a plan that will offer you catastrophic health coverage.
Your ability to earn an income is one of your most valuable assets. Although a group LTD plan offers some level of protection, it may not be enough to meet your current financial needs. As well, if you do not have access to a group LTD plan at all, your income is not protected in the event of illness or injury. An individual LTD plan offers you protection of your financial obligations.
Individual critical illness insurance can provide you with a lump sum payment in the event of a diagnosis of one of a specific list of diseases. There are no limitations on how the money is utilized.
Depending on your stage in life, the need for life insurance changes. I will help you make sure you and your family are properly protected.
