Post-retirement Solutions

RETIREMENT SOLUTIONS

In general, as we prepare for, or enter into retirement, we have some major decisions that must be made. When will I start collecting social security, where can I make a decent return on my money without risking my principal, how will I cover the healthcare costs not paid by Medicare and finally, do I need long term care insurance, do I have my final expenses and other life insurance in order?

At The Jeff Lambert Insurance Agency, your needs and best interests are our priority. Call us today and let’s together assess what health, life and “safe money” options are best for you and your loved ones. Making thoughtful choices here will help ensure a comfortable and stable retirement.

But before you plan your retirement your way, it’s important that you understand the basics of retirement solutions along with their pros and cons.

Types of Retirement Solutions

Final Expense

Here’s a type of insurance that covers the cost of your funeral and burial, and ensures your loved ones don’t struggle financially in those testing times.

Annuities

An annuity is a contract between an insurer and insured, where the latter pays the company an amount, either a lump sum or through installments. This entitles the insured to an income stream at a future date from the insurer. At Lambert, we specialize in offering fixed and indexed annuities.

Long Term Care Insurance

Under this, a personal retirement account holder is eligible for coverage that provides nursing home care, assisted living, or home-health care for individuals age 65 and above or with a chronic disease or disabling condition.

Types of Medicare

Medicare.gov defines Medicare as “a federal health for people who are 65 or older, certain younger people with disabilities, people with End-stage Renal Disease (ESRD). It has four parts, namely Medicare A, B, C, and D; which help cover specific services. Medicare A, B, and D come under Original Medicare, which is offered by us at Lambert. Coming to Medicare C, also known as the Medicare Advantage Plan, we leave it to our partner to help you with information and avail it.

Medicare A
This part of Medicare plans covers hospital stays, skilled nursing care, hospice care and, to an extent, home-health care.

Medicare B
Part B covers doctor visits, lab test tests, diagnostic screenings, medical supplies and equipment, ambulance transport, and other outpatient care services.

Medicare D
Part D helps cover the cost of prescription drugs. It is best-suited for people with high prescription drug bulls.

Medicare C
Yes, we know C comes before D, but in case of Medicare, part C stands separately as the Medicare Advantage Plan. It usually has parts A, B, and D combined into a comprehensive plan. This plan may lower out-of-pocket expenses such as hospital deductibles.
