National Insurance Awareness Day

June 28, 2023

On June 28th every year, National Insurance Awareness Day reminds us to review our insurance policies.  The observance offers an opportunity to review current levels of coverage and look into other types of policies available.  Below are a few things you should consider:

  • Make sure you understand your policy – Did you know that 86% of people can’t define the terms “deductible,” “copay,” “coinsurance,” and “out-of-pocket maximum”?  Today is a great day to make sure you understand your health plan so you can properly use your benefits.
  • Family changes – Has your family changed?  Do you need to update your life insurance policy?  Nobody wants to think about what might go wrong in your life, but the reality is that good and bad things happen and you need to be prepared.
  • Insurance is Evolving – Yes, life is constantly changing, but the benefit market is also changing too.  There are new products, services and solutions being introduced every day.  If your policy isn’t reviewed until it’s time to renew, you could be missing out on some added savings.

If we can help you improve your benefits and costs, please don’t hesitate to call us: 913-685-0000.
