As we get older, protecting both our health and our hard-earned savings becomes more important than ever. Many seniors assume that traditional insurance covers everything they may need, but in reality, there are often gaps in coverage that can lead to unexpected out-of-pocket costs.

Join us for this important and eye-opening class presented by Bambi Kautz, a Licensed Client Advocate with Hellman Insurance Agency. Bambi will explain how certain protection plans can fill in those gaps and provide coverage far beyond what traditional insurance alone may offer.

These plans are designed to help seniors better protect themselves financially when the unexpected happens. Many cost just a few dollars a day, yet they can potentially save thousands of dollars in medical and related expenses while providing peace of mind for both you and your family.

What to Expect:

Understanding the coverage gaps that can leave seniors with unexpected expenses

How supplemental protection plans can go beyond what traditional insurance covers

Dental and vision plans that help manage everyday healthcare costs

Protection plans for serious illnesses such as cancer, heart attack, and stroke

Why healthcare copay plans can be incredibly valuable for managing medical costs

Travel insurance options that provide peace of mind when you are away from home

How small daily costs can help protect you from large financial burdens

Your health and financial security matter. Join us for this meaningful conversation and learn how the right protection plans can fill important gaps, safeguard your savings, and provide greater peace of mind for the road ahead. 💙
