Reader’s Question:
Can you please explain if it is possible to question an insurance beneficiary? If so, what are the probable grounds if th epolicy is from Little Rock, Arkansas AR?
Allen
Little Rock, AR
Dispute over an insurance policy do really happen in Little Rock, Arkansas AR sometimes, and the usual reason would be the number of beneficiaries or the names of the beneficiaries.
If the policy holder dies and wasn’t able to inform his agent to update the data on his policy, like number of children (instead of 2 by the time of death its already 3), it can pose a problem. Another cause for trouble would be if the policy holder re-marries and the current wife is not the beneficiary instead the beneficiary was still the ex-wife.
In the examples mentioned, the common reason for the dispute was the failure of the policy holder to update his/her policy entries especially the beneficiaries. In cases like these, only the court in Little Rock, Arkansas AR has the sole power to decide in determining the legitimacy of the petition.
As a policy holder it is but proper to make some updates with our policy from time to time, emphasizing the beneficiary issues.

Life Insurance Bentonville Arkansas AR
Reader’s Question:
A friend told me that it a $100,000.00 term life insurance policy is cheaper than a $50,000.00 term life policy. Is that possible for a life insurance in Bentonville Arkansas?
Alex
Bentonville, AR
Hello, Alex.
You pose an interesting question for life insurance. Most companies prefer to sell term life insurance policies at the $100,000.00 level or more. Pricing is very competitive at this figure and at greater guaranteed values. Term life insurance policies under $100,000.00 are not as competitive and are not in as much demand.
Your local agent can certainly map out the differences for you and will find you the most competitive pricing for any term life insurance policy. Contributing factors are the age of the insured, the medical history of the insured and the length of the plan. Your agent in Bentonville Arkansas AR will review these factors with you. My experience is that you will find a $100,000.00 term life insurance policy has greater dollar for dollar premium value than a similar $50,000.00 policy.
Your friend in Bentonville has your best interests at heart. Most likely he did his homework and found that the $100,000.00 term policy was a better fit than the $50,000.00 term life package. You should also look at today’s fast paced economy. How far will $50,000.00 take your loved ones in Bentonville Arkansas AR? Why not meet with your agent in Arkansas and let him work the numbers with you? Good luck, Alex.

Auto Insurance Jonesboro Arkansas AK
Reader’s Question:
We finally got our Sports Utility Vehicle. Our whole family in Jonesboro Arkansas AK is excited. But, then came the shock since my auto insurance is through the roof. What happened?
Andy
Jonesboro, AR
Congratulations Andy!
Sounds like your new auto will fit the family in Jonesboro Arkansas AK. The pocketbook may be a different matter and you know about the mileage. Now, you know about auto insurance and the cost of insuring your new baby. Usually auto insurance runs about 20 percent higher for an SUV than for a conventional auto. One of the concerns is that auto insurers set high liability premiums for SUVs. Historically, these autos cause more damage to other cars when they are in an accident.
On the plus side, SUVs have a very favorable safety record. Auto insurance carriers in Jonesboro Arkansas take that into account. It seems that operators of SUVs feel safer, see the road better and are careful drivers.
National statistics indicate that 12 percent of auto sales last year were SUVs. Unfortunately, auto insurers report SUV owners reported a very high percentage of stolen vehicles. Auto insurance companies encourage alarm systems and often offer an incentive for these installations. Talk to your auto insurance agent in Jonesboro AK and ask him to pursue competitive auto insurance premiums. Then, my friend, drive safely and enjoy your new family auto in Jonesboro Arkansas!

Life Insurance Question Arkansas AR
Reader’s Question
Hello! My cousin is an agent for a Life Insurance Company in , she always asks me to buy insurance, but first I want to be familiar with different types of life insurance. Could you please help me?
Kim
Little Rock, AR
Yes Kim, There are two types of insurance you can choose from, I will give you details about each type so that you will know what types of insurance are fit to your needs.
Life insurance is divided into two basic classes – temporary and permanent. There are three factors to be considered in term insurance these are: face amount (protection or death benefit), premium to be paid (cost to the insured), and length of coverage (term).
Permanent life insurance is life insurance that stay in force in-line until the policy matures pays out, unless the owner fails to pay the premium when the policy expires. The policy cannot be stop by the insurer for any reason except deceit in the application, and that cancellation must apply within a period of time defined by authority usually two years. Permanent insurance establish a cash value that decreases the amount at risk to the insurance company and hence the insurance expense over time. This tells that the face amount is not expensive for older people. The owner can access the money in the cash value by surrendering the policy and receiving the surrender value.
When you are applying for life insurance, you should also carefully submit a premium check along with your application. Submitting the first modal premium at the time of application will help you secure temporary coverage while your application is in underwriting. Temporary life insurance is applicable only for those who have no medical history and those up to age 70.
Temporary coverage can be a great benefit to you when applying for life insurance. You will have a peace of mind because initial premium will worth. And, the insurance company will repay your premium to you if your application is refused for any reason or if you simply decide not to accept their policy offer.
Insurance Company Complaints Arkansas AR
Reader’s Question:
I recently got in a wreck and was denied claim by my auto insurer. Who do I call to file my dispute for claim in Arkansas?
Stacey
Fayetteville, AR
It’s good that you asked, Stacey.
Car accidents can be a pain…especially if you pay your premiums on time and get denied for auto insurance claim by your insurer. There are common cases like this in all 50 states though. The good news is, you can always go and file a complaint at the Insurance Department in Arkansas and they are ready to investigate your case.
But before you speak to anyone at the state level though, you better speak to your auto insurance agent or your insurer’s complaint department. You will be asked by Arkansas authorities to do that so you have to call your auto insurance company first to save you some time and effort.
The moment you make a call, be sure to take note of the time, date, and contents of you call plus the person’s name who attended to you. All your correspondence should be well documented to CYA (Cover Your Argument). The fine print of the policy are usually the most important things to know so counter check what your agent says and verify from the policy’s contents.
If it seems you have done your part and you’re still unhappy with the response, then it is probably the right time to escalate your action to Arkansas Insurance Department (some states call it the Division of Insurance). You can check for hotlines which can be available for you to reach for any formal complaints. Even on the state level, always remember to document everything to CYA! If your complaint is deemed valid, it might take around 10-30 days to rectify the issue. Patience is always an issue and you need to keep your cool so you will be properly assisted.
Hope this helps you!
International Health Insurance Little Rock AR
Reader’s Question:
I have a small office and I would like to purchase health insurance policies for my employees whom I will be sending to Japan for a 60-day training. What should I look for in health insurance policies with international coverage?
Jonathan
Little Rock, AR
Good thinking, Jonathan.
As far as I can remember, I was also sent abroad for a deployment for official duty for almost 12 months. I was sent to an Arab country which was too hot for me. I became ill for the 1st week but I was lucky to have a health insurance policy, sponsored by the company of course, with international coverage.
When your employees are working outside their home country, you should make sure that you do not only consider the price. You should give them the best health insurance policy available in Little Rock AR to make sure they are well equipped to do their duties smoothly, which can help you run smooth business and less risk of backlogs.
You will never run out of choices for health insurance companies in Arkansas that will provide international coverage for your employees. Most would require a minimum of 3 personnel in a group. They can even include your employees’ children and partner for the coverage at probably a minimal extra cost.
Just be sure you check out the reviews first on your top candidates for health insurance companies and also to verify the financial stability and track record of these providers. Pick one that has international recognition with many providers who can offer quick and adequate service for your team in case of emergencies. Customer service and follow through is also very important so take a closer look if these companies have 24/7 customer service support in case your employees would need emergency medical assistance abroad.
Group Health Insurance Arkansas AR
Reader’s Question:
I am thinking of converting my group health insurance policy from my employer to an individual heath insurance policy in Arkansas. What are the normal terms for individual health insurance policies?
Cory
Fayetteville, AR
Thanks for asking, Cory.
I might not be able to give you all the details here but I will just give you an overview of the terms of most, if not all, individual health insurance policies in Arkansas. You see most usual and customary charges for health insurance policies include standard rate for a procedure or visit. If it so happened that the doctor you visit or the health provider charges above the amount, they exceed the company’s customary amount. The amount you pay to the doctor or provider after the plan pays is your co-insurance. The doctor or provider collects this amount of your shared cost of insurance. Normally, co-pays are percentages, like a 70/30, which burdens you with 30% of the total cost. The specific amount that you will pay before the company pays will become your deductible. The lower your premium, the higher your deductible will be. When you say you ‘so-pay’ it really means you pay a certain amount for any medical costs.
Mind you that most health insurance companies will exclude coverage for re-existing conditions, which are really health conditions that occur before you get a health insurance coverage. You better get coverage while you are healthy because the moment you get sick and get diagnosed, it will be too late to get coverage. And if you can, the price is usually higher for those with pre-existing health conditions.
