Let’s get straight to the point. Whether or not your insurance company will pay your claim in the event of a disability often comes down to one word: Definition. 

Insurance companies often offer various types of disability insurance products and many vary on the details surrounding their definition of a disability. Let’s say you get injured or sick and want to claim benefits from your Disability Insurance policy. In the event of a claim, and in order to meet the terms of the contract, you must meet their definition of a disability. 
​
Before you decide to purchase disability insurance, explore how your insurance company classifies a ‘’disability’’. This may mean the difference between being well protected or barely protected!

Now that December has arrived, many of us are thinking of going on vacation! It’s important to remember that without travel insurance you may end up paying a large medical bill for even the smallest of medical emergencies. 

The following is a list of tips I’ve put together:
​
  • Check your credit cards or your group insurance at work to see if travel insurance is already included.
  • If your current insurance policy includes travel insurance, call your insurer to determine the maximum number of travel days included as part of your coverage.
  • Discuss the main coverage, limits and exclusions with your advisor. Particularly if you have a health condition.
  • If you have a current medical condition, inquire if your policy will cover your pre-existing condition.
  • Make sure to speak with your advisor if you have consulted a physician in the past 6 months, if your health is unstable or if your medication has been adjustment or changed.
  • If you are travelling as a family, inquire about family plans which are generally more affordable than buying individual plans.
  • Ask your advisor if adjusting the deductible will lower your cost.​
  • Be honest. Complete the application as honestly and as accurately as possible.

If you have other suggestions or questions, please include them in the comments below!

HOW MUCH LIFE INSURANCE DO YOU NEED?

Life insurance needs are typically divided into two segments: short term needs and long term needs. An example of a short term need is coverage to protect any debt you’re currently carrying, like a mortgage for example. People often insure themselves for the value of their mortgage so in the event of their death, their loved ones are not burdened with the responsibility of paying off the mortgage. Another example of a short term need is money for your partner. Whether it be a romantic relationship or a business one, the death of either partners can have a significant impact on the survivor’s ability to maintain their lifestyle or to maintain the business. Having money assigned through a life insurance policy provides a much needed parachute during what is usually one of the most challenging moments in someone’s life.

A long term insurance need can be a legacy gift you’d like to provide to an organization that is dear to you.

There isn’t a quick answer to how much life insurance someone requires or what type of life insurance product is appropriate. Whether it’s for long term or short term needs, your insurance needs are established after we’ve undergone a detailed assessment of your personal and financial situation.
