Frequently Asked Questions
Medicare Advantage (Part C) replaces Original Medicare with a private plan that often includes extra benefits like vision, dental, and prescription drug coverage. Medicare Supplement (Medigap) works with Original Medicare to help pay out-of-pocket costs such as copayments, deductibles, and coinsurance. Advantage plans act as all-in-one coverage, while Supplements are add-ons for cost-sharing.
Small businesses can save money on employee health insurance by offering group health plans, using a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA), or choosing high-deductible health plans paired with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). Employers may also qualify for tax credits under the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit program, reducing overall costs.
HMO (Health Maintenance Organization): Lower cost, requires in-network providers and referrals. PPO (Preferred Provider Organization): Flexible, allows out-of-network coverage at higher cost. EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization): Covers only in-network care, no referrals needed. POS (Point of Service): Combines HMO and PPO features with some flexibility.
Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover routine vision, dental, or hearing care. However, many Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans in 2025 include benefits for eye exams, glasses, dental cleanings, and hearing aids. Coverage varies by plan, so beneficiaries should compare options during Medicare Open Enrollment.
Consider how much insurance you'd need to replace current and future income, cover education, family events, retirement savings & support those depending on your income (family, business partners, co-signers).
Yes. Your term policy can be converted to whole or universal life during the policy's term, though this conversion right can expire—depending on your policy terms.
Businesses can deduct the cost of providing employee health insurance as a business expense, lowering taxable income. Employers may also qualify for credits like the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit. Offering benefits can reduce payroll taxes when employees contribute pre-tax dollars through cafeteria or Section 125 plans.
Group health insurance is provided by an employer or organization, usually at a lower cost because the risk is spread across multiple people. Individual health insurance is purchased directly by a person or family through the Health Insurance Marketplace or private insurers. Group plans often include better benefits and employer contributions, while individual plans offer more flexibility but may have higher premiums.
