Faster Decision Process for Final Expense eApplications

 

Beginning November 5, 2023, the MIB check will be included in the initial underwriting phase of the eApplication, similar to the Term Series application process. This means you and your client will receive a more complete decision earlier in the application process. While initial underwriting is happening, please continue to fill out the application as usual and submit it to Americo at the end of the application.

On Sunday, November 5, we will perform a system upgrade to Agent Tools to add this change. Agent Tools will be unavailable from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Central. You must close out any open Agent Tools Final Expense eApplications by midnight, Saturday, November 4. This does not affect Term Series eApplications.

If you have questions, or if we can be of assistance, please contact Agent Services at 800.231.0801 or agent.services@americo.com.

Aflac Medicare Supplement and Final Expense

Since 1955, Aflac, a well-known and reliable insurance provider, has offered supplemental coverage to millions of policyholders. Aflac has established a strong brand identity and a reputation for offering high-quality insurance policies and responsive customer care. Aflac Medicare Supplement and Final Expense Plans stand out among the many insurance options they provide as worthwhile options for seniors, ensuring they can enjoy their golden years worry-free.

Aflac Medicare Supplement Plans:

As individuals reach the age of 65, they become eligible for Medicare, the government-sponsored health insurance program. While Medicare covers a significant portion of healthcare costs, it may not cover everything. This is where Aflac Medicare Supplement Plans come in handy.

By covering deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance, these plans, sometimes referred to as Medigap policies, address the gaps in Original Medicare coverage (Part A and Part B). Aflac offers several Medicare Supplement Plans, each tailored to meet a different set of requirements and financial constraints. Seniors can rest easy knowing they’ll have complete health coverage and lower out-of-pocket expenses by choosing the proper plan.

Aflac Final Expense Plans:

While it’s essential to plan for healthcare expenses during one’s lifetime, it’s also crucial to prepare for end-of-life expenses. Aflac Final Expense Plans provide a whole life insurance policy designed to cover funeral costs, outstanding debts, and other expenses associated with the passing of a loved one.

Final Expense Plans offer a death benefit, which is a fixed amount of money paid to the designated beneficiary upon the policyholder’s death. This benefit can be used to cover funeral expenses, medical bills, or any other financial needs. Some advantages of Aflac Final Expense Plans include:

  1. Simplified underwriting: These policies often have a simplified application process, requiring minimal medical information and no medical exam.
  2. Fixed premiums: The premiums for Final Expense Plans are fixed, meaning they will not increase over time, making budgeting for the future more manageable.
  3. Tax-free benefits: The death benefit is generally tax-free, ensuring that the beneficiaries receive the full amount to help cover expenses.

The Aflac Brand:

Aflac’s brand awareness is bolstered by its commitment to customer satisfaction, innovative products, and strong financial stability. With the Aflac duck as their mascot, they have created a recognizable and memorable identity that resonates with consumers. This recognition, coupled with their dedication to providing valuable insurance products, has solidified Aflac’s position as a leading insurance provider for seniors and their families.

Aflac Medicare Supplement and Final Expense Plans offer seniors and their families peace of mind and financial protection during their golden years.  Pinnacle Financial Services makes the Aflac Medicare Supplement and final expense plans available to all agents where available.  Reach out to a Pinnacle team member today to get contracted.

Why Sell Final Expense Life Insurance

Final expense life insurance is a type of insurance policy that is intended to cover the costs of a person’s final expenses. Funeral costs, burial costs, medical bills, and other related costs are examples of these expenses. There are some critical reasons why an insurance agent should consider selling final expense life insurance to their clients:

  • Final expense life insurance is typically less expensive than traditional life insurance policies.
  • Final expense life insurance policies typically have simplified underwriting requirements, which means that clients can often be approved for coverage quickly and easily without having to undergo a medical exam.
  • Guaranteed acceptance: Final expense life insurance policies may provide clients with guaranteed acceptance regardless of their health status.
  • Peace of mind: Clients have peace of mind knowing that their final expenses will be covered and that their loved ones will not be burdened with the financial cost.
  • Selling final expense life insurance can be an additional revenue stream for insurance agents because it allows them to offer a product that is tailored to the specific needs of their clients.

Final Expense Life Insurance typically has a small death benefit ($1,000 – $25,000).

What types of final expense life insurance plans are available?

Depending on your client’s health and budget, the following are three types of common burial insurance plans:

  • Level – Immediate Death Benefit, 1st Day Coverage (for clients with excellent/good health) 
  • Graded – Limited Death Benefit for the first 2 policy years (for clients with fair health)
    • 1st Year: Return of Premiums plus 10% interest
    • 2nd Year: 50% of Death Benefit
    • 3rd Year: Full Death Benefit
  • Guaranteed Issue – Limited Death Benefit for the first 2 policy years (for clients with poor health).
    • 1st Year: Return of Premiums plus 10% interest
    • 2nd Year: Return of Premiums plus 10% interest
    • 3rd Year: Full Death Benefit

Final Expense Life Insurance Underwriting

Due to the simplicity of these products, practically all insurance carriers who offer burial insurance will have non-medical, simplified issue underwriting for these plans. This means that your client will not have to take any medical exams and will just have to answer a few yes/no health questions to determine the underwriting classification. Graded and guaranteed issue plans are available for clients who can’t qualify with the health questions. 

Additional Benefit Riders for Final Expense Life Insurance

Besides offering a guaranteed death benefit and guaranteed cash value accumulation, most burial policies will include an accelerated death benefit rider for no cost. This rider allows clients to accelerate a portion of the death benefit to use in the event of a chronic or terminal illness diagnosis.

Why Should Insurance agents sell final expenses?

Overall, insurance agents should consider offering final expense life insurance to their clients as it provides a cost-effective, simplified, and guaranteed option for covering end-of-life expenses. Additionally, it provides peace of mind to clients and can be an additional source of revenue for agents.
