A Few Common Myths About Florida Health Insurance
Through out my work week I often here several myths that I always try to make my clients be aware of. While I could spend all day at this I will only speak of the 1o that are most common.
1. Since I am on a group plan my pre-existing conditions have to be covered! FALSE.
If you are going from a group plan to an individual plan you will indeed have to go through underwriting. Underwriting will look at your medical records and then make an evaluation if coverage will be offered.
2. Every insurance carrier uses the same underwriting guidelines. FALSE
Every carrier evaluates certain conditions quite differently. Some use rate-ups, others exclusions. This why it is vital to speak with a licensed agent to make sure you know the underwriting for a particular carrier.
3. I can be singled out for a rate increase if I am diagnosed with a pre-existing condition. FALSE
Every carrier has rate increases each year but none raise rates simply due to a recent diagnosis.

Reevalute Your Life Insurance
As retirement age approaches, it’s usually a good time to reassess your florida life insurance policies to see if your needs have changed. Especially if your insurance premiums are high, you may be tempted to cancel the policy, take the cash surrender value, and enjoy retirement. Before doing that, however, make sure there aren’t other uses for your life insurance policy, such as:
- To leave a legacy to heirs-
Even if the money isn’t needed for your children’s support after your death, many people like the thought of leaving a large inheritance to their children or grandchildren.
- To pay your grandchildren’s college expenses
With the rapidly increasing costs of college making it more and more difficult for parents to cover this cost, you might want to use an insurance policy as a college fund for your grandchildren.
- To support adult children
There are a variety of reason why you might want to provide financial help to an adult child. Perhaps your child is a doctor, but has significant debt from college. Or your child might work at a job that doesn’t pay a substantial amount of money.
- To help with long term care costs
Many individuals don’t purchase long term care insurance believing their spouse will take care of them. However, when one spouse dies, there may not be anyone to take of the surviving spouse. The proceeds of a life insurance policy can be used to provide long term care for the surviving spouse.
- To optimize pension benefits
When retiring, irrevocable decisions about pension plan benefit payments must typically be made. You could use the proceeds for a life insurance policy as a source of income for your spouse after your death.

Understanding The Difference between Life Insurance and Long Term Care
When thinking about retirement and estate planning two of the biggest things that are needed are life insurance and long term care. But Just are the major differences and what does long term care cover?
Life insurance is meant as protection for a family. Long Term Care Insurance is in many ways like life insurance as it protects the family from the crisis that occurs when a family member needs care. Families are generally the first line of assistance when someone needs care. The responsibilities of the family include physical, emotional as well as financially.
If you would like to learn more about long term care or life insurance please contact Evan Tunis, owner of Florida Healthcare Insurance at 800.946.3157.

Florida Life insurance is affordable now, but that will not last
While the economy is down, consumers have a chance to pick up something that everyone should have in their personal finance toolkit for a great price right now: life insurance.
Rates on Florida term life insurance are lower then they have been in the last 15 years-but the bargains will soon be gone.
A few major carriers, including Prudential, raised rates starting at the end of last year. Others are expected to follow their lead soon.
That’s a signal for action.
If you are in the market for a policy, you may get a better deal if you act now, rather than in a few months. Also, if you have an older policy, it’s still possible for some consumers to get a lower premium by taking out a new florida life insurance policy.
You should have life insurance if you have a spouse or children or a home or a partner whose life would change dramatically if your income were suddenly not there. To speak with a licensed represetative or to request a quote please contact Evan Tunis at 561.637.8162.
