September 13 2008 by visitor in Minimum Requirements |Comments Off

Reader’s Question:

Can someone from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma lend me some information on minimum auto insurance requirements in your city? I would greatly appreciate the kind gesture.

Bernie

Broken Arrow, OK

Simply put, the minimum auto insurance required in the state of Oklahoma is 25/50/25. This means that the auto insurance should shoulder twenty five thousand dollars for medical expenses caused to a single driver, fifty thousand dollars for collective medical expenses for all of the vehicle’s occupants and another twenty five thousand dollars for damages to public and private properties including that of the victim’s vehicle.

In Broken Arrow, OK all motorist is required to have liability insurance that would cover the cost of medical and repairs of vehicle inflicted in an accident caused by the driver holding the insurance policy. When the amount of expenses exceeds the amount that the insurance policy provides, the driver at fault would have to compensate for the balance needed, hence it is strongly recommended to get a liability policy greater than the minimum required.

If the vehicle is under lien, it is required to carry comprehensive and collision insurance otherwise it is not required in Oklahoma. Nevertheless, it is still recommended to have such insurance policy on top of minimum requirements. In the event of accident when you do not have these you would be deemed solely responsible for repairs to their vehicle. Collision coverage will provide for repairs equivalent to the Kelley Blue book value of your car, then if the cost went beyond this amount the car would be totaled and you would receive the equivalent cash value of the car.

I could not disagree with you any further. Yes, life insurance is a pretty simple and straightforward product. On the contrary, permanent life insurance has many variations and complications since it involves an investment side. Term life insurance will only be concerned with how the death benefit is enforced. It might be simplest among all types of life insurance, but it can have few simple variations in Oklahoma City.

Term life insurance varies in premiums, death benefits (or face amount) and length of coverage. These three important variant factors in term life insurance which results to yield you different options. Term life insurance is a simple product but when you talk to a life insurance agent from a local insurer in Tulsa Oklahoma OK, they can give you variations of this product.

Term life insurance can be renewable from 1 year to 30 years term. You will need to pay premium within this term or period based on the face amount. If you choose to get higher face amount, it follows that you will pay high premiums. However, if you can’t afford such premium, you will have to settle for lower face amount. Better be sure of the options which are right for your beneficiaries and your financial capacity since term life insurance is an important investment you’ll have in Tulsa Oklahoma OK.

Reader’s Question:

I’m an employee in a medium scale enterprise here in Oklahoma. I just realized part of the deduction on my payroll is due to life insurance coverage which I got from the company where I work. Should I then get a separate life insurance in Tulsa Oklahoma OK?

Arthur

Tulsa, OK

It’s very good that your employer is providing you life insurance in Tulsa Oklahoma OK. With the high costs of living these days, life insurance is probably one of the most important benefits that an employer can provide for all employees.

Best if you should first get to know the type of life insurance that is given to you by your company. The most common life insurance from employers is term life insurance. If you have this type, then you should check if the face amount is enough for your beneficiaries when you die. For example, you better ask yourself if, say you have a 100,000 death benefit: Will that be sufficient if you have 5 children and spouse? Otherwise, you should consider buying additional life insurance.

If your company in Tulsa Oklahoma OK allows it, then it will be better that you upgrade from the life insurance provider of your employer because group life insurance is much cheaper. But if you will be willing to pay additional premium for additional death benefit, it will be lesser compared when you buy life insurance individually. Besides, it will save you some effort of having to start all over again in application and medical examination. But if this scenario will not be allowed, you have no choice but buy separate life insurance companies that will be available to you in Tulsa Oklahoma OK.

With many life insurance companies in Tulsa Oklahoma OK, you can surely find the cheapest term life insurance that would supplant your current life insurance with your employer. What you can do is to search and request quotes which you can compare among the companies that offer the most affordable price for your needed additional death benefit.

Reader’s Question:

Has anyone heard of ‘universal coverage’ and ’single payer system’ in the context of life insurance in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma OK?

Eugene

Oklahoma City, OK

These terms really pertain to discussions in health care reform, which are separate but related concepts.

Universal coverage will pertain to the health care system in the US which grants health coverage to every individual. A single-payer system, on the other hand, is one in which there is one party that is responsible for paying health care claims, which is usually the government.

This specific system is in contrast with current health care system in the US. Universal coverage and single-payer system will usually be positively correlated. This is because a country’s federal government is the most likely candidate to administer and pay for a health care system covering millions of people. It will be very hard to imagine any private entity to have the resources to establish a nationwide health care coverage system.

It would be possible to have a universal coverage even without having a single-payer system in Oklahoma City Oklahoma OK. There will be various political interests that will likely prevent this from being realized. However, it will still be possible to construct such a system, which would provide universal coverage with multiple payers.

Theoretically, it will be possible to have a single-payer system without having universal coverage. However, it is extremely unlikely to ever occur because the single-payer would undoubtedly be the federal government. Therefore, it would not be politically viable for them to exclude any citizen from coverage if our own government adopts such a system.

Reader’s Question:

I am wondering if I should get my own car insurance for the car I am leasing in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma OK. I believe it will cost me around $15-$30 in the State of Oklahoma. I do not want to skimp on any insurance, bu is it reallyworth to pay additional dollars on an already costly lease?

Vinny

Oklahoma City, OK

Quite a number have asked me the same question too. It is quite understandabel for you to doubt about spending another $15-$30 per day on top of your lease, which is already expensive on its own. Of course, most people would care less to insure a car which they would need to drive only for a day or two in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma OK. I think all people assume to be safe drivers all the time, don’t you?

So this is a given fact, I know, but you also need to remember that every single day, there can be hundreds of car accidents that can happen, no matter how small. I think insuring your leased car in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma OK will really be worth the risk, especially if you meet an accident at the time when you are out in the road driving a leased car. It could cost you thousands of dollars in damages even if you’re not at fault, and you don’t want to regret spending a great more just because you want to save a few dollars on insurance.

Your regular car insurance policy in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma OK may offer a form of leased auto insurance as well but most of the time, it will offer a very limited coverage. The fact is that you never know what comes your way even on a short lease, but still, it would still be up to you.

Reader’s Question:

I am based in Tulsa, Oklahoma OK and I just have a quick question on my life insurance. Am I still allowed to change beneficiaries after my first premium payment in my life insurance?

Dana

Tulsa, OK

Since you are the owner of the life insurance, you can change beneficiary only if it is not stipulated in the policy that “Beneficiary is Irrevocable”. There are life insurance policies, particularly those belonging in the permanent life insurance, which will not allow changes in the beneficiary as soon as the life insurance is already enforce. If you need to change it though, it will be required that the designated beneficiary has to be involved in the changes in the policy. By nature a beneficiary is not a party to the life insurance but may have a say on the changes of the policy under irrevocable beneficiary conditions such as permanent life insurance policies.

There are different life insurance policies from various companies in Tulsa, Oklahoma OK. The best thing that you can do then is to confirm from the policy provider in Tulsa to check if the policy states that beneficiary is irrevocable. It is for your best interest that you will have to be sure of your beneficiaries before submitting the final application for any life insurance. Life insurance is about your beneficiary’s benefit when you die and the reason why some beneficiaries cannot be changed. This is because you are actually buying the life insurance with the specific dependent in mind and changing it may require the main beneficiary’s consent. It can be a little complicated if the main beneficiary is still a minor which might need legal intervention.

Reader’s Question:

I have been paying for a term life insurance and now the term is up. I wanted to continue investing on life insurance but I developed a disease that may affect my premiums. What product should I get here in Tulsa, OK?

Janet

Tulsa, OK

Hi Janet

Actually, it depends on how fatal the disease is. If the disease you are referring to is indeed fatal like heart problems, diabetes, cancer, leukemia and others, then indeed, your premiums will increase considerably. But if its not life-threatening at all, then perhaps you can continue with whatever life insurance you have and just adjust a little of your premium. Anyway, the life insurance will also adjust with age so it’s still proportionate.

What you need to do is ask life insurance quotes from various companies in Tulsa and see how much it would cost you for life insurance. At least by getting at least 5 quotes, you can compare who among them has the best offer. Be sure to disclose your condition so you can compare actual quotes.

If it seems that the life insurance premium is still not suitable for you, then you can opt for no exam life insurance. No exam life insurance is a popular new product and surely you can find one in Tulsa. Be wary however, that although no exam life insurance does not require medical exam, it has high premium and low face value. Nevertheless, this could be an option and again, it would help if you get various no exam life insurance quotes in Tulsa.

Life Insurance North Cleveland Oklahoma City OK

Reader’s Question

Who are the important parties involved in life insurance? I’m just curious because the life insurance agent here in North Cleveland seemed to involve a lot of people in my life insurance.

Greg

North Cleveland, Oklahoma

Hello Greg

I don’t quite understand what your life insurance agent in North Cleveland, OK involves in his selling of life insurance policy but I do know who should only be involved.

For one, there’s you, the life insurance agent and the life insurance company (you should be clear what particular life insurance company the agent is affiliated to). That is the first stage of life insurance – selling and selecting the products and the three parties should be involved. Once you decided on the life insurance product that suits your budget and your needs, you need to involve other people in your application: You and your beneficiaries. Your life insurance beneficiaries should be the people that will get the death benefit when you die. Then after submitting the life insurance application, you are required to do medical examination. By all means the life insurance company would involve an accredited doctor to check on your condition. Then some personnel in your life insurance company may verify on some data in your life insurance application. At the end when the transaction is closed, the contract would only involve the most important parties: the policy holder/ insured (it’s you) and the insurer (the company). Secondary parties involved (the ones that have no “say” to the contract) are the beneficiaries. Beneficiaries are the ones whom you should give the death benefits.

Hope this helps you with life insurance issues in North Cleveland, Oklahoma City.

I am not certain about my health insurance coverage in Oklahoma City. I got it from my employer in Oklahoma. If I find my coverage inadequate, should I buy supplemental health insurance?

Nikki

Oklahoma City, OK

It’s good to know that some companies can be so thoughtful about their employees. Well, the answer to your question really depends on several factors. Supplemental health insurance might be essential if you are at high risk for a serious illness, accidents, or hospitalization. What’s important is for you to have the peace of mind that having additional insurance coverage can bring you. This will be applicable if you can afford supplemental coverage.

The first one offer you cash benefit if you are diagnosed with a particular disease such as cancer. Payment is made on a per day basis, although some offer benefits per medical procedure.

Accident policies, on the other hand, pay you a cash benefit if an accident occurs. Only accidents which are specified in the policy declaration are eligible for payment by your insurer. The amount of the payment may depend on the degree of injury that you incur.

Lastly, hospital indemnity policies usually offers cash benefit to its policy holders in the event that he or she becomes hospitalized. Payment is made directly to you as the insured, or your beneficiary, on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
