Beyond Medicare

Supplemental Protection

Additional products that may help with costs Medicare doesn't fully cover.

What Is Supplemental Protection?

Supplemental protection products are additional insurance products that may help with costs not fully covered by your primary coverage. These products are offered by private insurance companies and can provide benefits in specific situations.

Common types of supplemental protection may include hospital indemnity insurance, cancer coverage, heart attack and stroke-related supplemental products, and other ancillary health products. Each product has its own terms, benefits, and eligibility requirements.

Hospital Indemnity

May provide a cash benefit for each day you're hospitalized, helping with costs that add up during a stay.

Cancer Coverage

May provide benefits related to a cancer diagnosis to help with expenses that arise during treatment.

Heart Attack & Stroke

Supplemental products that may provide benefits in the event of a heart attack or stroke-related condition.

Ancillary Health Products

Other supplemental products that may help cover specific health-related costs.

Ancillary Protection

Life Policies

Life insurance products that may help protect the people who depend on you.

What Are Life Insurance Policies?

Life insurance is designed to provide a benefit to your beneficiaries after your passing and may help your loved ones manage expenses, debts, or ongoing needs. As an ancillary protection product, it works alongside — not in place of — your health coverage.

Life policies are offered by private insurance companies. Product types, benefits, underwriting, and eligibility vary by carrier and state, and not every product is available in every area.

Term Life

Coverage for a defined period that may provide a death benefit if the insured passes away during the term.

Whole Life

Permanent coverage designed to last your lifetime, which may build cash value over time depending on the policy.

Final Expense

Coverage intended to help with end-of-life expenses such as funeral costs and related bills.

Product availability, benefits and eligibility vary by carrier and state. Life insurance is not a Medicare product. Underwriting, premiums, and benefits differ by policy and insurer — a licensed professional can help you understand what may be available.
