NAIFA-Mississippi is pleased to present you with a continuing education opportunity conducted by Career Insurance, Inc. Join us October 11, 2023 virtually from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm for Critical Illness & Disability Planning, a webinar presented by Rick Weston. 3 Hours of CE Credit available!

Experiencing a critical illness is a life-altering event. The mental, physical, financial and emotional tolls taken can devastate a family. Illnesses formerly considered terminal now are often survivable. Unfortunately, the aftermath of a critical illness can be difficult. This is where critical illness insurance and disability income insurance can save the day. With proper planning, and truly understanding what is at stake for your family, a plan of action can be prepared before this type of life event occurs. This course discusses what critical illness insurance is, and is not. We thoroughly cover what disability income insurance is, and is not. Understanding the differences in these products is important to properly plan a family’s sound financial future.

NAIFA-Mississippi is pleased to present you with a continuing education opportunity conducted by Career Insurance, Inc. Join us June 7, 2023 virtually from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm for Understanding Medicare Advantage Plans, a webinar presented by Rick Weston, CLU, ChFC, CPCU, LUTCF, FSS.

Medicare Advantage (sometimes called Medicare Part C or MA) is a type of health insurance plan in the United States that provides Medicare benefits through a private-sector health insurer. In a Medicare Advantage plan, a Medicare beneficiary pays a monthly premium to a private insurance company and receives coverage for inpatient hospital ("Part A") and outpatient ("Part B") services. Typically, the plan also includes prescription drug ("Part D") coverage. Many plans also offer additional benefits, such as dental coverage or gym memberships. By contrast, under so-called "Original Medicare", a Medicare beneficiary pays a monthly premium to the federal government and receives coverage for Part A and Part B services, but must purchase other coverage, such as for prescription drugs, separately. This course outlines the features and benefits and compares and contrasts these plans with other Medicare coverage options.
