Insurance

Insurance is essential to any comprehensive financial security plan. If tragic events like death, disability or critical illness strike, insurance can protect you and your family from undue hardship. Some life insurance policies also provide tax-advantaged savings that you can draw on to pursue goals like buying a house or retiring comfortably.

Summit Financial Strategies has access to a variety of insurance products that can help meet your financial security planning needs. No matter your personal situation—if you’re single or in a family; a professional or a seasonal employee; an executive or small business owner—we will work together to design a customized plan.

Life Insurance

Life Insurance

In the event of death, life insurance offers surviving family members increased financial security. As a tax-free lump sum payment, it can pay for final expenses and debts, as well as provide income for the deceased’s dependents.

The advantages of life insurance include:

  • An instant estate for your loved ones at a time when funds are most needed
  • Death benefits that are almost always non-taxable for named beneficiaries
  • Avoid probate costs if you name a beneficiary other than your estate
  • Potentially offer your loved ones creditor protection through some life insurance plans
  • Build tax-advantaged capital for retirement purposes or provide liquid savings through some permanent life insurance plans

Long-Term Care, Disability And Critical Illness Insurance

Help protect one of your most valuable assets – your income – from unexpected events through long-term care, disability and critical illness insurance.

Long-term care & disability insurance

Income is important for both current financial obligations (e.g. grocery bills and mortgage payments) and for future financial security (e.g. planning for your children’s education or for retirement). Just think what might happen if you suddenly lost your income stream through a long-term illness or disability.

Long-term care and disability insurance products help protect your ability to earn an income, which can be affected if you are afflicted by a disability or other condition. Summit Financial Strategies can also help you in support of a buy-out of a disabled partner’s share of a business.

Critical illness insurance

Suffering a critical illness is distressing for both you and your family. Help ease the burden through insurance that will reduce financial stresses and can complement disability and life insurance protection needs. By helping pay for the additional expenses often associated with a critical illness or condition, insurance offers you, your family, and if applicable, your business, added financial security—so you can focus on recovery.

The advantages of critical illness insurance can include:

  • An initial lump-sum benefit you can use however you wish—from making mortgage payments to seeking medical treatment
  • Home-care costs during illness and recovery periods
  • The ability to provide a return of premium benefit (optional)
Health & Dental Insurance

Health & Dental Insurance

Summit Financial Strategies can help you choose a health and dental plan that can help cover out-of-pocket medical and dental expenses for you and your family. 

When designing your custom health and dental insurance package, you can choose from an array of services. Options include:

  • Prescription drugs, which many consider one of the most valuable forms of health coverage.
  • Paramedical services, ranging from the use of an ambulance to a visit to the massage therapist.
  • Vision care if you or your family members wear glasses or contact lenses.
  • Protection while on vacation or a business trip with out-of-country medical coverage.
  • Access to private or semi-private hospital rooms.
  • Dental care can include basic dental work as well as a portion of orthodontics, depending on your level of coverage.

Group Health Benefits

In today’s working environment, valued employees are looking for more than financial compensation. They also want an employer who supports their health, and the health of their families.

For this reason, either by itself or paired with group insurance products, consider attracting and retaining employees with group benefit plans. From traditional health and dental benefits to alternative arrangements like employee wellness programs, group auto insurance or flexible work situations, group benefits help make employees more efficient, productive, and happy. Employers also gain tax benefits, such as premiums that are deductible as a business expense in some cases.

Flexible plans offer employers and employees cost-effective, customized ways to address their needs. Choose from an array of benefits like:

  • Extended health and dental care coverage (drugs, paramedical services, vision care, out-of-country medical coverage, etc.)
  • Group life insurance
  • Group short- and long-term disability insurance
  • Employee assistance and wellness programs
  • Group critical illness coverage, to help ensure your employees can survive a critical illness
