Portland Life Insurance

Should I get Term Life or Whole Life Insurance?

There are several factors to take into consideration when making this decision. Term life insurance is more cost-effective, yet it doesn't accumulate value and cannot be cashed out. Whole life, on the other hand, while being the more expensive option, allows the policy holder to collect premiums should they need money for some unforeseen circumstance. Another thing to consider is that term life is temporary - it only lasts for the length of the term. Whole life lasts for the length of your lifetime.

Portland Health Insurance

What kinds of health insurance plans are there?

There are basically two types of health insurance: Fee-for-Service and Managed Care. While they differ, both cover an array of medical expenses. Most plans cover prescription drugs and may also offer some form of dental coverage. Fee-for-service plans allow patients to see their doctor of choice and file the claim for each service provided. Managed Care plans, on the other hand, provide comprehensive health services to members and offer other incentives using HMO's, PPO's, and POS plans.

Portland Auto Insurance

What factors may affect my auto insurance costs?

Several factors may affect auto insurance costs. Driving history, age, gender, marital status, driving patterns and credit history all factor into the cost of car insurance. Additionally, the car that you drive can factor into auto insurance costs. Some cars cost more to insure because they are more expensive to repair, are more easily damaged in accidents, or are frequently targeted by thieves.

Portland Homeowners Insurance

What kind of disasters are covered by most homeowner insurance policies?

While some insurance providers may vary on the coverage they provide for certain large scale disasters, all homeowners insurance policies cover disasters. Damages caused by fire, hail, explosions, riots, aircrafts, vehicles, smoke, vandalism, theft, and volcanic eruptions are all covered by standard homeowners insurance plans. However, damages inflicted by floods and earthquakes are not generally covered by a basic homeowners insurance policy.
