1. Are your health insurance
premiums too high?
Consider the following:
An intelligent, factual, method for lowering
your monthly major medical premiums
 In 2009, the average family’s health insurance premium
was $13.375 (Kaiser Family Foundation)
 The average American family spends less than $2,500 per
year in out-of-pocket medical expenses
 The average American household with $2,000 major
medical deductible rarely meets their deductible
 This results in health insurance premiums that are far too
expensive for the amount of benefits that are actually used

3. Accidents
1. Include an accident plan to compliment
your health insurance plan.
If a medical claim is due to an accident—
Use the “accident plan” to cover your
annual deductibles & co-insurance
…with on a $100 deductible
65% of all healthcare claims are due to
accidents

4. Critical Illness Protection
2. Include critical illness coverage in your health insurance
program

 *Every 40 seconds…Someone in the U.S. is having a stroke -1

Including an Accident and Critical Illness policy with a higher deductible major medical policy
creates a combined benefit plan that will greatly reduce your monthly medical insurance
premium.
In the event of an accident or critical illness, both the Accident and Critical Illness policy’s
benefits can be used to pay the higher deductible on your Major Medical plan. The Critical
Illness plan may also provide funds to cover any additional out-of-pocket expenses or lost
income that may result from a serious illness.

2. Average “retail price” for doctor’s office visit: $120.00
3. Average PPO discounted price for doctor’s office visit without co-pay:
$80.00
4. Number of family office visits required to justify the additional
premium:
$2,184 ÷ $80.00 = 27.3 Office Visits
5. Number of office visits actually used per year: (Example) – 10
$25.00 x’s 10 visits = $250.00
6. “True Cost” of the co-pay feature: $2,184 + $250.00 = $2,344.00 /yr.
7. Actual “true out of pocket cost” for each office visit = $234.40 ea.
