Online Insurance seems to be the new boom in the life and health insurance industry. More and more agents are realizing that clients are searching for quotes online and don't want to speak to an insurance agent. Some of this comes from the theory that a life insurance agent will call you every day for two years just went you mention the words insurance.. So today we are going to explain different products that are worth getting an online quote for and which ones are not, plus we will give you a few statistics that will shock you regarding online insurance.

Last week Medicare Insurance Finders went live with a YouTube Channel to provide our clients with another way of accessing Medicare and Medicare Supplement information. As of today, 23 videos have been placed on the web explaining everything from Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D to Medigap Insurance and how it supplements your Medicare.

This article will be short and brief but we wanted to give healthy clients with a Mutual of Omaha Medicare Supplement Plan N a warning that rates are skyrocketing across the country. It is time to review your policies.

Today we received a call from a man in Louisiana looking to replace his Medicare Supplement. He was in decent health overall but he had some health conditions with his heart that he had experienced over the past few years. Due to the heart condition there were not any Medicare Supplement Plans that would accept him (except for a guaranteed issue Medicare Supplement).

Many people tend to review their Medicare Supplemental Insurance during the Annual Election Period when they are looking at their drug plans, but what a lot of people don't know is that these plans can be reviewed anytime throughout the year. We received a quote request last week where an a couple in Oregon was able to save over $2,500 a year by just looking to see what Medicare Supplement Rates were available.

Yesterday, I had a couple from Katy, Texas call me that had Medicare Supplement Plan N's with one of the Mutual of Omaha companies. They had the policy for several years and just received a $50 rate increase per month on both of their policies. Needless to say they were not happy with their Medicare Supplement Rates and wanted to know what they could do to replace the policy prior to November 1, 2012 when the rate increase took effect.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released information pertaining to how many plans will and will not be returning to the Medicare Advantage Market. It appears that this year over 1.7 million seniors are being dis-enrolled from their current MA plan but only 393,819 people will not be offered another plan by their carrier.
