Overview
Life insurance pays a benefit to your beneficiaries if you pass away during the policy term. Term life offers a set amount of coverage for a fixed period at lower cost. Permanent life (whole or universal) lasts your lifetime and can build cash value. The right fit depends on your dependents, debts, and long-term goals.

Common questions
What's the difference between marketplace and individual health insurance?
Marketplace plans are ACA-compliant and may qualify for premium tax credits based on income. Individual plans purchased outside the marketplace can offer different structures but don't include marketplace subsidies. We'll walk through which fits your household.
Is short term health coverage a good idea?
Short term coverage is best used as a bridge — between jobs, waiting for open enrollment, or covering a gap. It typically excludes pre-existing conditions and may not cover essential benefits. It shouldn't replace ACA coverage long-term.
Why would I need supplemental coverage?
Major medical plans often leave high deductibles, copays, or non-covered expenses. Supplemental coverage — accident, hospital indemnity, critical illness — pays cash benefits to help absorb those costs so a health event doesn't become a financial event.
