Types of Benefits
Dental
Major medical plans typically have some dental benefits, but a dental plan alone can be much more comprehensive for your dental needs. Dental plans cover the necessary services rendered by professional dentists.
Vision
Vision is exactly what it sounds like. Many major medical plans do not include vision benefits or don’t cover as much as a consumer would like. A vision plan helps consumers afford necessary services from eye care professionals such as ophthalmologists and optometrists.
Life
These plans are meant to help your family financially in the event that you pass away and are no longer able to provide for your family. In the event of your death, it would pay out a sum of money to the beneficiaries. Sometimes, there is a waiting period involved, depending on the plan policy.
Disability
This plan provides a safety net for you and your family in case you are disabled and unable to work. It’s designed to replace 45-65% of your income and is paid out periodically, like a paycheck would be, in the event that you are disabled.
Deductible Supplement
These plans are meant to work with a major medical plan. It does exactly what its name says: supplements the deductible. This means that if your major medical plan has a really high deductible, this plan will help you until you do meet that deductible. For example, if your major medical plan has a $6,350 deductible, and you find out that you need to have a surgery that will cost $5,250, this plan will have a lower deductible to limit your out-of-pocket expenses, and allow you to focus on getting your health back.
Accident
These insurance plans have a cash payout if the consumer suffer from specifc injuries. If a specific injury does occur, the payout is made to the consumer rather than to a medical provider. This way, the consumer can use the money for whatever they chose.
Critical Illness
This plan works similarly to an accident insurance plan, but is meant to provide a cash payout if the consumer is diagnosed with a serious, life-threatening illness.
