Questions and Answers
Real questions Californians ask about health and life coverage, answered in plain English, with a link to the full guide and what to do next.
-
Can It Be Too Late to Get Life Insurance?
Yes. Life and supplemental plans can decline or limit coverage after certain health changes, so timing matters.
-
Why Do People Put Off Buying Life Insurance?
Mostly because it’s an uncomfortable subject. The process is usually much quicker than people expect.
-
When Is the Best Time to Buy Life Insurance?
Usually now. Life insurance is priced on your age and health when you apply, and both only move one direction.
-
Is a Dental Savings Program the Same as Dental Insurance?
No. A dental savings program is a membership discount plan, not insurance. You pay discounted rates directly at participating dentists.
-
Can I Buy Dental Insurance Without Health Insurance?
Yes. Standalone dental plans are sold on their own, and some cover major work without a long waiting period.
-
Can I Buy Vision Insurance Without Health Insurance?
Yes. Standalone vision plans can be bought on their own, any time of year.
-
What Is a 3-in-1 Supplemental Insurance Plan?
It bundles accident, critical illness and accidental death and dismemberment coverage into one policy with one bill.
-
What Is a Guaranteed Issue Hospital and Outpatient Plan?
It’s a supplemental plan that pays set cash benefits for hospital stays, doctor visits and urgent care, with no health questions for eligible applicants.
-
What Is Hospital Indemnity Insurance?
Hospital indemnity pays you a set cash benefit for each day of a covered hospital stay, with no network to worry about.
-
What Does Critical Illness Insurance Pay For?
It pays a one-time lump sum directly to you on a first diagnosis of a covered condition like cancer, heart attack or stroke.
