Life Insurance

At Tom Martfeld and Associates, we understand that life insurance isn’t just a policy – it’s a promise to safeguard the well-being of your loved ones. Life insurance provides financial security and peace of mind, ensuring that your family’s future is protected even in your absence. Our comprehensive range of life insurance options includes:

Whole Life –
Whole Life Insurance provides coverage for your “whole life.” Premiums remain level throughout your lifetime and the death benefit remains level. Whole Life is more expensive at younger ages but is less costly than term insurance when an insured reaches older age. Since most of us will never outlive our need for some life insurance coverage, whole life is recommended as a part of your total insurance program. Whole Life builds cash values that can be used to supplement your retirement if the policy is surrendered or the cash value can be used to pay up the policy’s death benefit.

Universal Life –
Although Universal Life is less costly than Whole Life, it too can be used to provide coverage to age 95 or 100. Universal Life policies build cash values and are considered a less costly alternative to Whole Life in providing long term life insurance coverage.

Term Life –
Term Life Insurance is the least costly way to provide sufficient life insurance for family or for business protection. You choose a “term of time” you want the coverage to be in effect and your premium and death benefit remain level for that period of time. Most term life plans offer a guarantee that you can convert your term coverage to either Whole Life or Universal Life if you wish to carry the protection beyond the term period. Below are the published rates from one of our many term life companies.
Our experienced team will work closely with you to understand your financial goals, family’s needs, and long-term aspirations. We’ll help you choose the life insurance plan that aligns perfectly with your circumstances, providing the reassurance that your loved ones will be cared for no matter what the future holds.

Individual Health Insurance

We provide health insurance for individuals who are self-employed, or perhaps work for an employer who does not provide health insurance. Individual health insurance is also a good choice if your employer provides group medical insurance and either pays all or a part of the employee premium, but does not contribute any amount toward dependent coverage. Usually, individual plans are a much better option for your dependents because rates are usually lower than under a group plan.

We offer Major Medical Insurance from various companies and we will shop for the best plan and price. These companies include Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Humana, Aetna, and more.

Since major medical insurance rates continue to climb and affordability is always an issue, we recommend you look at higher deductible plans that include doctor co-pays and prescription drug coverage. We offer major medical plans with no deductible for doctor visits or Rx drugs. Deductibles generally apply to hospital charges only. Higher deductible plans save you money but still provide great coverage for basic services such as doctor and drug charges.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) made dramatic changes in both the Health Insurance industry and the Healthcare Industry. In past years, rates for health insurance were based on age and the general overall health of the insured. Policies could be rated upward with higher rates for people with preexisting conditions, or the insurer could refuse to offer coverage due to an existing health condition.

All of this changed when the Affordable Care Act (ACA) became effective. If an individual or family applies for health insurance coverage under one of the “qualified plans”, there are no questions asked about current or past health history and the insured cannot be denied coverage due to health. In addition, applicants with incomes below certain maximums can now qualify for a tax subsidy that will lower their health insurance premiums. Household income is now the main component in determining what a qualified health plan would cost for you or your family. The simplest way to determine if you or your family will qualify for a tax subsidy is to contact our office. By answering a few simple questions we can give you a quote right over the phone.

We offer Group Major Medical plans for businesses with as few as two employees or more. Group insurance rates are based on the age of the employee and the amount of the deductible chosen. Many Group Major Medical plans will offer the choice of two deductibles within a group plan. This will accommodate employees who prefer to pay a higher monthly premium but have a lower deductible. Others within the group may prefer to pay less premium and carry a higher deductible amount.

A Group Major Medical plan can be designed to include doctor office co-pays, a prescription drug card, life insurance benefits, short term disability benefits and other options such as maternity coverage. To receive a quote for your company you may fax or email us census information that would include the age and sex of the employee, whether they wish to insure dependents such as spouse and/or children, and the name of your present insurance carrier.

We offer Group Major Medical coverage from several of America’s leading health insurance companies.
