Life Insurance

It is our goal and expectation to provide you with the best product and highest level of quality service to keep you and your family protected from financial catastrophe.  Joyce Insurance Group offers a variety of life insurance options to suit the needs of each and every individual.

We only represent a number of the industry's strong carriers with the highest rated claims paying ability.  Some of the products we offer are:

  • Term Insurance
    A plan of insurance that covers the insured for only a certain period of time (term), not for his or her entire life.  The policy pays death benefits only if the insured dies during the term.
     

  • Return of Premium Life Insurance
    Also known as return of premium term life insurance, this is term life insurance for a period of time where one receives a guaranteed return of premiums paid if you keep the policy for the term period. For example, 20 year return of premium term would guarantee in lieu of a death claim, a return of premium paid after you paid 20 years of premium, in lieu of a death claim.  Most of these policies also give a partial return of premium if you keep the policy for a great part of the years.  In addition, these policies offer paid up life insurance as another option at the end of the term, in lieu of a death claim.
     

  • Whole Life
    A plan of insurance for life with premiums payable for a person's entire life. This type of insurance covers the individual for the duration of the person’s life. Cash value accumulates inside the policy.
     

  • Universal Life
    A flexible premium life insurance policy under which the policy owner may change the death benefit from time to time (with satisfactory evidence of insurability for increases) and vary the amount or timing of premium payments. Premiums (less expense charges) are credited to a policy account from which mortality charges are deducted and to which interest is credited at rates which may change from time to time.
     

  • Variable Life
    A policy that combines protection against premature death with a savings account that can be invested in stocks, bonds and money market mutual funds at the policyholder’s discretion.
     

  • Key Person Insurance
    Insurance designed to protect a business against the loss of income resulting from the disability or death of an employee in a significant position.
     

  • Buy Sell Agreement Insurance Funding
    An agreement used by businesses to sell the interests of a deceased owner to the remaining partners at a predetermined price or using a predetermined formula.  Typically, life insurance is used to fund these agreements.

Disability Insurance

Amazingly, every year 12% of the adult population suffers a long term disability.  If you are currently under 35 years old, there is a 50% chance you will experience some sort of disability by the time you reach 65. These odds would not be a problem had people accumulated enough savings from which to draw on. That’s why we understand the importance of disability insurance. We offer coverage anywhere from short term illnesses/disability to long term disabilities for nearly every occupation.

Disability insurance generally offers 60% of an income and its non-taxable.

Health Insurance

Today, health care costs are high - and getting higher. Who will pay your bills if you have a serious accident or major illness? That's why you buy health insurance for the same reason you buy other kinds of insurance - to protect yourself financially. With health insurance, you protect yourself and your family in case you need medical care that could be catastrophic to your family’s livelihood, and could prevent you from seeking potentially life saving treatments.

Joyce Insurance Group offers both individual and group plans that fit each person’s individual needs. We offer various deductibles, co-pays and prescription plans.

Our plans include:

  • Traditional Medical
    Traditional health insurance is generally the most flexible type of health plan. It allows you to choose any doctor you want to and see specialists without getting approval from a "primary care physician" or "gatekeeper" first.  With traditional health insurance, you will usually have to spend a certain amount on medical bills each year before your insurance starts to pay. This is called a deductible. After that, you will have to pay a percentage of each charge, called a co-payment. The insurance company will pay the rest of the charge based on what it considers reasonable.  Many insurance plans protect you from large medical expenses by limiting your total expenses in any given year, called your out-of-pocket expenses. There may also be a cap on total benefits--a maximum amount the insurance company will pay in your lifetime.
     

  • HMOs (Health Maintenance Organization Plan)
    A type of coverage that provides comprehensive health services to members in return for a monthly premium and co-payment. In an HMO plan, members may choose a primary care physician (PCP) who coordinates each assigned member’s care. The PCP refers patients to specialists and provider services as needed. Although many HMOs require their members go to the doctors and other providers in the HMO provider network, some HMO plans offer the option to go out-of-network (for example in a POS plan). HMO plans often require members receive a referral from their PCP before seeing a specialist. (See primary care physician and point of service plan.)
     

  • POS (Point of Service Plan)
     A type of managed care coverage that allows members to choose to receive services either from participating HMO providers or from providers outside the HMO’s network. Members pay less for in-network care. For out-of-network care, members usually pay a deductible and coinsurance.
     

  • PPOs (Preferred Provider Organization):
    A type of managed care coverage based on a network of doctors and hospitals that provides care to an enrolled population at a prearranged discounted rate. PPO members usually pay more when they receive care outside the PPO network.

     

  • HSA (Health Savings Account)
    A Health Savings Account allows individuals to pay for current health expenses and save for future qualified medical and retiree health expenses on a tax free basis. To be eligible for a Health Savings Account, an individual must be covered by a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), must not be covered by other health insurance, is not eligible for Medicare and can't be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return.
     

  • HRA (Health Reimbursement Accounts or Health Reimbursement Arrangements)
    HRAs are IRS-sanctioned arrangements that allow an employer, as agreed to in the HRA plan document, to reimburse for medical expenses paid by participating employees. HRAs reimburse only those items (co-pays, coinsurance, deductibles and services) agreed to by the employer which are not covered by the company's selected standard insurance plan (any health insurance plan, not only high-deductible plans).
     

  • FSA (Flexible spending arrangement or Flexible Spending Account)
    FSAs are one of a number of tax-advantaged financial accounts that can be set up through a cafeteria plan of an employer in the United States.  An FSA allows an employee to set aside a portion of his or her earnings to pay for qualified expenses as established in the cafeteria plan, most commonly for medical expenses but often for dependent care or other expenses.  Money deducted from an employee's pay into an FSA is not subject to payroll taxes, resulting in a substantial payroll tax savings.
     

  • Dental
    Dental insurance designed to pay the costs associated with dental care. Dental insurance pays a portion of the bills from dentists and other providers of dental services. By doing so, dental insurance protects people from financial hardship caused by unexpected dental expenses.
     

  • Vision
    Vision insurance is a form of insurance that provides coverage for the services rendered by eye care professionals such as ophthalmologists and optometrists. There are many vision insurance companies. The typical vision insurance plan provides yearly coverage for eye examinations and partial or full coverage eyeglasses, sunglasses and contact lenses, with or without co-pays, depending on the plan chosen.

Long Term Care

No one wants to think about a time when they might need long-term care, so planning ahead for this possibility is often delayed.   Most people first learn about long-term care when they or a loved one needs care.  Then their options are often limited by lack of information, the immediate need for services and insufficient resources to pay for preferred services.

Long-term care insurance is an insurance product which helps provide for the cost of long-term care beyond a predetermined period. Long-term care insurance covers care generally not covered by health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. Individuals who require long-term care are generally not sick in the traditional sense, but instead, are unable to perform the basic activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing, bathing, eating, toileting, continence, transferring (getting in and out of a bed or chair), and walking.

We, at Joyce Insurance Group, can help you plan ahead so you can have more control over your future.
