It’s no secret that insurance policies are hard to follow.

But learning insurance terminology is key to picking the right policy — so allow us to clear up a few key terms:

-Insurer: This is the company or individual who promises to reimburse you.
-Insured: This is the individual who receives the payment — except in the case of life insurance, where the payout goes to a named beneficiary.
-Premium: This is the amount you pay every month for the insurer’s promise to reimburse.
-Deductible: This is a threshold — it is the amount of money you have to pay out of pocket before your insurance kicks in.
-Risks or Perils: These are the events that cause damage.

After learning these few phrases, you’ll be ready to pick the perfect policy for you — but if you still need a hand, we’re always here to help :)

If you ask us, insurance plan proficiency is key to getting the most out of your policy.

So let’s test your knowledge ;)

Navigating health insurance plans can be a daunting task.

The terminology is confusing, policy breakdowns are hard to follow, and the stakes are awfully high.

So to make the selection process easier, here are a few things for you to consider:

1) Your employer’s plan may not be the best deal

This is because group insurance premiums are based on the group’s average health — so if you’re healthy as a horse, you might find a cheaper plan or one with more benefits.

2) The lowest premium plan may not be cheaper in the long run

Low premiums are tempting, we get it! But when it comes to medical emergencies, premiums might not even be the most significant cost.

After all, plans with lower monthly fees tend to make up the difference elsewhere — usually with a high out-of-pocket deductible!

3) But don’t avoid high-deductible plans either

If you maintain your health and have the means to cover the expenses, higher deductibles can actually save you a lot of money in the long run!

So you’re thinking about buying private health insurance, but still haven’t figured out if it’s right for you.

It’s OK — we can help with that!

There are several factors to consider when it comes to making such a decision — so here are some of the pros and cons to get you started :)

Pros of private health insurance:

-It can cover unexpected medical costs, such as surgery, hospitalization, and other life-saving care.
-Private coverage often gives you more options for treatment
-Some private plans let you choose your own doctor
-Wait times are often shorter

Cons of private health insurance:

-Many private policies come with steep monthly premiums
-Comprehensive policies have higher deductibles
-Most insurance policies don’t cover all diseases and conditions, so you might not be completely covered.

It’s a lot to think about — so if you need some help weighing your options, just leave us a comment down below or send us a message and we’ll point you in the right direction :)

We know that most people don’t spend their days daydreaming about insurance policies…

But we’d like to think there’s still hope!

We want to ask you, what does your ideal insurance plan look like?

Test your insurance knowledge:

You don’t need home insurance if you’re leasing your property to a tenant.

Perils, premiums, deductibles — oh my!

With the relentless rise in medical costs, it’s more important than ever to have insurance coverage to protect you from an unexpected expense.

So for all you insured folks out there, we want to know:

What’s the biggest expense medical insurance has spared you from?

It may seem obvious — but did you know that home insurance and rental insurance aren’t the same thing?

Well, in case you didn’t, allow us to clear up the confusion:

To put it simply, home insurance provides coverage for damages and losses due to unexpected perils like theft, flooding, or fire.

It’s for people who own their house or apartment — and covers both the physical structure of their home and the personal belongings inside.

Rental insurance, on the other hand, provides coverage for losses and damages to a renter’s personal property — not for the building itself.

So know the difference, and pick the right policy to make sure you’re covered either way!

Here’s a good one you:

Why couldn’t the baker get any insurance?

Because she was high whisk 🤣

There’s a lot to think about when it comes to picking the perfect policy 🤔

One of the main reasons why people get life insurance is because they want the peace of mind that their loved ones will be taken care of in the event of their death.

So if this knowledge will help you to sleep better at night, just send us a message and we’ll be happy to start the policy process :)
