Health Insurance For Students - You Must Budget For It .

All of us remember our college years with fondness. College life is one of the best periods of ones life and a reminder of those times can bring a smile back to everyone's face. It is stressful because of long assignments and periodic exams but is also fun at the same time.
To make the best of this period, one needs to strike a balance between the times that one spends on studies and the time spent on leisure activities. One of the most important aspects of student life is managing one's expenses. Since the inflow of money is limited, one needs to have a smart financial planning.
It is not surprising to find out that most of the students do not understand the importance of college health insurance. The cost of healthcare is increasing by the day and hence it is crucial for a college student to be prepared for any such unforeseen circumstance.

Most of the students are very active in extracurricular activities like sports that render them prone to injuries, including serious ones at times. Also, life is unpredictable and one cannot predict when a medical emergency may strike. This is where college health insurance comes in handy and can offer safety against the high cost of medical treatment at a very low cost.

The first step to owning a college health insurance is to check your college website. If you happen to be a full time student, it is possible that you are already covered under the college health insurance. This is one fact that not many students are aware of.

Generally, the premiums for college health insurance are deducted every quarter along with the tuition fees. Since the amount is nominal, it is possible that you are not aware that you are already covered under college health insurance that even includes that dental plan! 

However, if you happen to find that you do not have a college health insurance, you can contact the college authorities to help you get covered under the current insurance scheme. The other alternative is to buy you a separate insurance cover from any of the service providers.

It is advisable that one should check out the policy details and compare the premiums from various health insurance providers before enrolling for one. It is possible that you can land yourself a good deal. However, generally getting an insurance cover independently turns out to be more expensive than group insurance that is provided through the college.

Ski season is in full effect, and Colorado ski resorts are finally getting some much needed snow. My son and I decided to take advantage of the fresh powder and headed west, along with what seemed to be half of the residents of Colorado, for a day of fun in the snow. But unfortunately, I was involved in a very serious collision with a 6 year old boy that resulted in a broken leg and a trip to the hospital...for the little boy.

 

While skiing down an advanced run, I looked up the mountain to see if it was safe to make my way across. As I looked up, I saw Colton (named changed) coming at me at a very high rate of speed. Colton wasn't out of control, but he was going too fast and was not able to turn very well yet (which is why he was coming straight down the mountain). There was nowhere for me to go so I braced for impact and did my best to catch Colton as we collided in order to, hopefully, prevent serious injuries. Fortunately, Colton and I were both wearing helmets and, fortunately, I was able to wrap Colton up in my arms and fall in a way that put most of the impact on me. Unfortunately, Colton's leg landed under me and, as we slid down the slope, his leg was broken.

More than 55 million people per year hit the slopes in the United States, and every year, there are about 135,000 serious injuries and 40 deaths. What do you do if you find yourself tangled up with another skier who decides you were at fault for their injuries? Where can you turn to help you with legal and medical bills that you may be responsible for? You may be able to get some help from your home insurance!

Your home insurance policy includes medical payments to others and personal liability coverage which protects you and members of your family that are living with you for injuries to others that you may be responsible for, even if the injuries do not happen on your property! Your home insurance can help cover the costs of legal fees, medical bills, work loss and pain and suffering if you are liable for someone else's injuries in an accident.  There are some limitations, coverage does not extend to intentional acts, accicdents covered by auto (or other vehicle) insurance, or claims covered by worker's comp insurance. You are also bound by the limits on your individual policy and any exclusions that your insurance company may have listed, however, ski accidents are typically not excluded.

Make sure you carry high enough liability limits to protect your assets and future earnings. You don't want to find yourself at the wrong end of a lawsuit and have your insurance company tell you that there isn't enough coverage to pay for everything and the rest will be coming out of your pocket! Increase your medical coverage to $5,000 and your liability coverage to $500,000 to be on the safe side. If you do have to file a medical or liability claim, you will typically not be responsible for your deductible as deductibles don't apply to liability claims.

Hopefully, you never find yourself being sued or facing a situation where you are responsible for someone else's injuries. Luckily, I wasn't injured in my ski collision. Colton ran into me and suffered a broken leg, but things could have been much, much worse. If you're going skiing, play it safe and make sure you follow the National Ski Patrol's skier code of conduct.

Keeping Your Insurance Agency as Efficient as Possible

As an insurance agency owner, you deal with many different clients and cases daily. Staying organized is essential to helping meet the needs of your customers. However, how can you remain efficient while also pleasing those you serve and your team members?

Developing habits that can increase productivity is a lifelong lesson. However, one way to tackle this goal is to remain organized as much as possible. By streamlining activities, reducing wasted time or energy, and discovering where your team works well together, you can become a more efficient agency. Here are some tips to help you make it out of the clutter and into a space to better serve your clients:

• Get rid of the energy and items in your office that will not help with the success for your business. Anything that is not absolutely necessary for functioning should be left behind.
• Make organization a daily activity both physically and mentally. The more you practice this, the easier it will become to work efficiently and effectively.
• Make communication priority at your agency. When communication is poor, work becomes inefficient. Make sure everyone can easily have discussions with coworkers and clients.
• You preach to your customers all the time to prepare for disasters. So why shouldn’t you? Create a disaster plan and make sure your agents have it on hand in case of a mishap. This will allow everything to run productively in the aftermath.
• Don’t give your employees more work than they can handle. Overloading your employees can cause burnout.
• Listen to others, including your employees and customers. Always follow through on your promises and don’t let your ego get in the way.
• Make it easy to work together as a team to boost efficiency.
• Improve employee satisfaction so they can remain happy, productive, and reliable.

This can help further satisfy your customers as well as allow you to stay connect with your community. Taking the time to organize all aspects of your business will help you reach your fullest potential!
