Pet Vet | Insurance Comparison | Petsecure | Angie Mitchell

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Pet vet insurance has been increasing in popularity over the last years, due largely to the advances of veterinary science. Vets today can offer treatments and procedures that were unheard of just a few years ago, such as radiation therapy, transplants, and MRIs. You guessed it… these new pet treatments aren’t cheap! Vet costs have risen over 70% in the past five years, to over $19 billion last year. If you own a pet, you know just how fast the vet bill adds up.

Pet vet health policies are similar to human insurance policies; annual premiums, deductibles, and various coverage based upon what the owner chooses. Most plans also have co-pays and caps that limit how much will be paid out annually.

Items to be aware of when choosing pet vet insurance for Fluffy:

- some policies won’t cover older pets

- certain breeds are excluded from coverage

- pre-existing conditions might be excluded

- most insurers offer a multi-pet discount

Pet vet policies vary greatly, depending on the animal and the various packages that the owner can select from. Some packages are comprehensive, including such things as annual checkups and vaccinations, spaying/neutering, death benefits and even reimbursement for offering a reward for lost pets. Other plans cover only accidents and illness.

Let’s compare various Canadian pet vet insurance policies.

Petsecure is the largest pet vet insurance company in Canada, founded in 1989, offering pet vet insurance in every province and territory. They are no longer associated with the Petplan brand. You can see any vet in Canada but there are pre-existing clauses. “Secure for life ” guarantees coverage for the pet for life and there is a wellness program option also.

Basically, Petsecure offers one, comprehensive plan with four levels of coverage. Level Secure 4 provides for preventive annual wellness care (blood profile, urinalysis, vaccinations, heartworm flea/prevention, heartworm testing, fecal test/routine de-worming) and ongoing lifetime wellness care (vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchip, dog dew-claw removal).

The Savings Highway Club | Family Discount Dental Plan

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

The Savings Highway Club | Family Discount Dental Plan

We hear a lot about the 46 million Americans without health insurance, but rarely do we hear that more than twice that lack dental insurance. Dental care remains the most common unmet health-care need of children in the United States. Tooth decay is five times as likely to be found in children as is asthma, which, like most common illnesses, is covered by health insurance. But at least 26 million children lack dental coverage, more than twice as many as lack medical insurance, according to federal health statistics.

There are many communities with the U.S. that are still lacking in dental care coverage, either because of a lost job or not having enough money to afford insurance. Earlier this year, it was reported that Americans cited cutting dental insurance as a way to save money during the recession.

To combat that need, Savings Highway and AETNA joined partnership to offer Members a family discount dental plan with over 66,000 dental practice locations nationwide and the ability to save up to 50 percent on everything from general dentistry and cleanings to root canals, crowns and orthodontia. There are more savings to be had on routine dental services such as x-rays, fillings, specialty care such as orthodontics and periodontics where available.

Savings Highway Offers AETNA Family Discount Dental Plan and covers your entire family, you are able to use the discount dental plan as many times as you like!

There are no health restrictions, it’s easy to use and there is no predetermination of benefits required and no referral required to see a Specialist. Remember this is a Discount Dental Plan and not Insurance.

The Savings Highway Club is proud to provide family discount dental care to those with no access to a dentist or for those who have limited coverage. You can be assured that all dentists are credentialed and participate in a quality management program. After becoming a Savings Highway Club Member, simply present your card and save, no paperwork required, you pay the discounted amount at the time of your visit.

“My wife just saved over 50% on her dental bill! Steve, I just wanted to let you know that my wife went to the dentist for her 6 month checkup. The bill was $170. When she showed them the card, they told her to pay only $80. I am amazed at the savings!”- Nick Romeo

How to Retire Early In Today’s Economy | The Savings Highway Club

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Would you like to know how to retire early in today’s economy? Are you going to retire at an age when you can still enjoy retirement or are you just hoping your job will stay around until you can retire? Now do this…TAKE CONTROL!

The crumbling economy, the volatile stock market and limp home assessments are affecting just about everyone, but people who would like to retire or are about to retire may be in the most precarious of positions and asking themselves, how is it possible to retire early in today’s economy? Are you looking for appropriate ways to respond? Then it’s time to learn more about what you CAN control and how you can better manage your personal finances.

Seeing your portfolio or your 401K lose value over a prolonged period is never easy, but it can cause even more worry if you’re relying on your nest egg or will be relying on it shortly. If you’re still working, will you have to postpone retirement? If you’re retired, will you have to reduce spending, cancel plans or look for a job?

“Social Security replaces approximately 41% of the average earner’s income at retirement and some forecasts predict a fall to 30.5%.” * (Source: “Social Security, Medicare and Americans’ Confidence in Their Retirement Future” Watson Wyatt Insider, September 2008.)

I don’t know how anyone can be prepared for what we’ve been experiencing recently with our economy. The current retirement-income system of defined contribution plans in which employees bear all the risk is ill-suited to the needs of the average Joe.

People haven’t been very good at building balances in 401K plans; they’re modest by any measure, most people are not experienced investors, (myself included) and their whole future well-being depends on the assets in these plans. When they’re hit by these huge fluctuations in the market, it must really put a knot in their stomachs.

Fear and concern are normal. The news is all around us, and it’s hard to ignore. People going into retirement are the ones who are most aware of their financial situation because all of a sudden it’s right in front of them. If you haven’t done a stellar job preparing for retirement, your options are fairly limited. You can work longer, live on less or work in retirement but you sure as heck don’t have to!

Let me ask you this, have you ever considered an internet business? If not, how come? There are so many benefits to having a home based business and this just might be the answer to the question: How is it possible to retire early in today’s economy? Make financial freedom a possibility for you.

With prices always on the increase, I chose to join The Savings Highway and created my own economy!

If in life one door closes…don’t be afraid to climb out the window…it may be worth the jump!

It is my mission to educate people and bring savings and financial wealth everywhere!

Retire early with me!
