At the beginning of the year, we shared with you the clear vision we had for 2020. Unfortunately, 2020 had its own plans and our world was turned upside down. One thing; however, remained the same — cus-tomers still needed life insurance protection. And with your help, we’ve continued to offer sound planning solutions to help meet the needs of your customers and provided electronic solutions that made it easier for you to do business in today’s world.

As we head into September, there’s no doubt this year’s Life Insurance Awareness Month is going to look a little different than it has in the past. But, it’s still an important opportunity to help clients understand the value of life insurance.

Here are some marketing tools that can help in your life insurance sales efforts:

Microsites: Our Life, Simplified site includes materials and videos for our simplified issue products, and our IUL University site con-tains a library of IUL training videos and materials for our fully un-derwritten products.

Map Your Course Materials: This packet of materials helps pre-pare clients for the risks they may face in retirement and helps them plan for these risks using an Income Advantage IUL policy.

Prospecting Mailers: You can select from a variety of mailers that can be personalized and sent to clients.

Life Insurance for Living Brochure: This brochure helps clients understand the value of life insurance. It’s available in both English and Spanish.

Underwriting Program and e-Application Materials: Our Accel-erated Underwriting, Speed eTicket (drop ticket) and Automated Un-derwriting flyers and our e-App Training videos help explain our Underwriting programs and e-Application processes.

Cash Benefit Cancer Plan...Issue ages 0-69. Pays maximum benefit amount in cash as listed in the policy schedule up to $50,000 for written satisfactory proof of a first-time diagnosis of internal cancer or malignant melanoma. Benefit can be used for anything - income while not working, travel expenses, at-home care, experimental treatment or whatever is needed. Pays in addition to other coverage. Available for individual, single parent, or family coverage.

HealthGuard (CILS)… Issue ages 18-64. The plan is critical illness protection which pays a lump sum benefit directly to the policyholder upon written satisfactory proof of first diagnosis. Covered illnesses include: Major Organ Transplant, Heart Attack, Stroke, Total Loss of Eyesight, Total Loss of Hearing, and End Stage Renal Failure. Benefits are available in $10,000 increments, ranging from $10,000 to $50,000. Benefit amounts reduce by 50 percent at age 65. Individual and spouse coverage available.

ProCare® Medicare Supplement Plans... featuring the High Deductible Plan G(HDG) The HDG is a Medicare Supplement Plan G policy that provides all the features and benefits of a standard Plan G but at a substantially lower premium. The difference is a calendar-year deductible. The amount of the calendar-year deductible for 2020 is $2,340. (Set by the federal government) Why does an HDG policy make great sense? U A’s Company statistics show the majority of their Plan G policyholders have annual claims well below the current deductible amount of $2,340. In fact, Company statistics show that 80% of policyholders ages 65-67 had annual claims averaging $524. If your clients anticipate few claims or small claims, an HDG policy may be the right choice! After all, why pay premiums for claims they may never have?

Here’s a quick glance at the easy sell United American products:

UA-250 Accident Compensation Plan ...Issue ages 0-63. Guaranteed Renewable for Life! Pays cash benefits for accidental injury. Choose from a lump sum payment of up to $10,000 per accident or a hospital cash benefit of up to $6,250. Also includes an Accidental Death Benefit which pays $10,000 instead of all other benefits (or $10,000 minus any previously paid benefit) to chosen beneficiary.

The Plan HDF is available to individuals that turned 65 prior to Jan 1st 2020. If they turned 65 after Jan 1st 2020 they can get on the new HDG Plan. In 2020, the Government will authorize the creation of a new High Deductible Plan G. As you may know, Plan F is disappearing for new purchases as of 2020. With the disappearance of Plan F, the High Deductible Plan F will be gone as well. If you are interested in buying a High Deductible plan, the only option you will have will be the

High Deductible PLAN G High Deductible Plan Overall Rating 5 STARS !!!!!

With the Plan HDF's removal in the year 2020 and the price difference be-tween High Deductible Plan F vs High Deductible Plan G, the High De-ductible G will be one of the best values for supplement market. !!!

Short Term Medical Plans The court appeals from the District of Columbia on July 17th up held a Trump-era rule that expanded access to short term, limited dura-tion insurance (STLDI) The majority rejected the plantiffs arguments that the short-term plan rule is contrary to Congresses intent in adopting the Health Insurance Portability act. (HIPPA) and an unrea-sonable interpretation in light of the Affordable Care Act. (ACA) The court pointed to instances in the record where the government as-serted that the change in duration of STLDI plans could have an im-pact , but that it would be relatively minor. The court reached it’s de-cision. STM can continue to be sold for 3 up to years in states that allow it. The rule has significant impact already. Enrollment in STLDI prod-ucts has increased by at least 27% since the new rule was finalized. Fed-eral rules allows 364-day plans, with option to renew for up to 36 months.

More than half the states have stricter regulations, and there are 11 states where no short-term plans are available.

Recent state-based legislation pertaining to short-term plans: Some have tightened state regulations and others have relaxed them.The 2018 rule that extends the allowable dura-tion of short-term plans was upheld by a federal district court judge in 2019, and again upheld

by an appeals court, in a 2-1 ruling issued in July 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus has challenged health care like never before.

Health insurance providers, policymakers and tech companies have responded with new ideas, new flexibility

and new solutions. The pandemic has in particular put a spotlight on telemedicine as a beneficial tool

for screening and monitoring the sick, protecting the healthy, and supporting our nation's most vulnerable.

This special report captures a snapshot of how telemedicine is being used and the ways in which health care

could be reshaped after this crisis is behind us.

Telehealth: A solution to multiple pandemic challenges

Policymakers and health care providers are advocating for expanded use of telehealth to manage a number of

challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Proponents say telehealth can allow people who think they

might be infected to be screened at home rather than at clinics or hospitals, where they could spread the virus

or be exposed to it, and telehealth can also allow clinicians to safely check in on people who are at high risk

of serious illness if exposed and infected. Full Story: Medscape (free registration) (3/4), New England Journal of Medicine online (3/11)

Insurers boost virtual care amid COVID-19

Health insurance providers are waiving cost sharing, relaxing network restrictions and making other changes to enable access to COVID-19 care, and telehealth figures into many of their strategies. For example, Hu-mana is covering virtual urgent care without cost sharing, Aetna has waived telemedicine fees for all condi-tions, and Magellan Health is allowing free access to its digital cognitive behavioral therapy program and has expanded behavioral telehealth offerings.Full Story: Health Payer Intelligence (4/7)

Pandemic pushes telemedicine use to an all-time high Telehealth usage rose by 50% in March and virtual health care interactions are projected to top 1 billion by the end of 2020, according to Forrester Research, with 900 million of those involving the novel coronavirus. Health insurers have aided the transition to virtual care amid the COVID-19 pandemic by urging patients to use telehealth for screening, rather than clogging up emergency departments.
