Smoker Insurance New Jersey NJ
Reader’s Question:
Hello! My fiancé, Jeff, is a great guy and a hard worker, but he is a smoker. I am working on that! I am also helping to plan our financial future. Is there such a thing as smoker’s insurance in New Jersey?
Madeline
Bayonne, NJ
Congratulations Madeline!
It seems like you are starting off on the right foot. It would be great if you could help Jeff stop smoking. Life insurance for smokers is always available in New Jersey. Generally, it is more expensive than insurance for non-smokers. It is safe to say that use of tobacco products will classify Jeff as a smoker in terms of life insurance.
If you and Jeff are successful with his smoking cessation, his life insurance rates will change. You might want to develop a life insurance strategy based on his good intentions. In the insurance industry, smokers are rewarded for stopping. Not only will Jeff feel better, he’ll be able to have more insurance at less cost.
As you consider life insurance, you and Jeff will be asked about your use of tobacco. To develop the correct strategy for your future, you should accurately portray Jeff’s usage. This will help your representative develop a life insurance plan that covers Jeff before and after he stops smoking. Again, congratulations to you both for your upcoming marriage and also for planning ahead for your financial security and well being.

Reader’s Question:
My wife and I have been married for 3 years now. We are both very busy individuals in each of our own fields and lately we have decided to have a baby. We both have health insurance coverage under group coverage in Elizabeth NJ. How can we adapt a family addition to our health insurance coverage?

It’s good that you asked, Wayne.
Now is the best time for you to review your health insurance policy in Elizabeth and coverage before you give birth to a new child or adopt a child. Expect that you will be having more visits to the pediatrician as soon as a new baby enters your family.
Like what I did, I suggest you have the whole family covered under a single health insurance plan in NJ. It is probably the most cost-effective thing that you can do. Take a closer look at both of your policies, if they are from different groups, and try to check which one needs supplement for new medical requirements such as prenatal and pediatric care coverage. Compare your current plans to see which one offers better maternal and child care coverage pick that one as your new family health insurance. Make sure also that you pick a plan which has coverage for birth center or a particular hospital where you choose to give birth. Another thing is to make sure that your choice of doctors and pediatricians will be available in your prospective family health insurance plan’s network of providers.
Now what if you wish to add your child to your insurance, you need to call your health insurance company to let them know when your child is scheduled to arrive and should start coverage under your plan. Normally, most life insurance companies give coverage to an additional child at birth, even if the child would have a pre-existing medical condition.
New Jersey Health Insurance Online
Reader’s Question:
I am still a college student and I am looking for a health insurance available for me in New Jersey. Because I am no longer a qualified dependent, I am no longer covered under my parent’s plan. What can I do?
Martina
Elizabeth, NJ
Very well, Martina.
There is always something than you can do. For starters, you can purchase a student health insurance that is specifically designed for undergraduate college students in New Jersey. Most student health insurance policies are ideal for single students like you who are no longer covered under parents’ health plan.
If you find the traditional health insurance plan to be too expensive in New Jersey, then you can purchase a student health insurance plan instead. Student health insurance policies are also ideal for those who live outside their parents’ HMO or PPO area especially to those who are studying abroad, or those who are required insurance coverage but do not intend to choose a college-sponsored plan.
Most student health insurance policies can readily be purchased from the internet. If you do so, the earliest time your coverage can begin is the day after the transmission, given that you have passed eligibility requirements. I can give you an example to illustrate this better. When I purchased on for my daughter last March 16th, her coverage began at 12:01 on Mach 17th.

Cheap Life Insurance New Jersey NJ
Reader’s Question:
I currently have two insurance policies and I tend to feel over-insured at the moment due to high premiums. Is there any option for me to pay cheaper life insurance without sacrificing the benefits in New Jersey?
Bill
Elizabeth, NJ
I see your point Bill.
I was once in the same situation in New Jersey. Luckily, I got to meet an insurance agent in my state who gave me an option to get a joint life insurance policy. This option is available on either term or whole life insurance policies. It can be purchased as either “first to die” or “second last to die”.
The joint life policy is a cheap life insurance policy in the sense that it can insure two or more people on the same policy with a premium that is more expensive than insuring just one, but cheaper than having two policies.
What is the difference between “first to die” and “second to die”? In the former, the beneficiary receives the proceeds when the first injured person dies, and the policy is terminated. In the latter, the face value is paid when the second or last insured person dies.

Reader’s Question:
How will I know if a life insurance policy is right for me if the insurance agent in New Jersey recommends a term life policy?
Stephanie
Trenton, NJ
Any agent can recommend policies that he or she thinks will meet your needs. However, you need to closely examine the recommended policy to be sure it fits your needs. Try to understand very well the “policy illustration” which the agent provides. It gives you an understanding of how that policy will work for you. Your agent needs to give a point-by-point explanation.
As a legal document, a life insurance policy needs to be understood by you very well. To verify your term life policy in New Jersey, it is best that you ask the policy’s initial rate guarantee period. Verify if this policy is renewable after the initial guarantee without physical exam. Ask also regarding premiums. Check if this policy is convertible to permanent insurance without undergoing any physical exam and know the period of time for such conversion.
Lastly, you need to check the A.M. Best, Fitch, Moody’s and Weiss Ratings for this New Jersey insurance company that is offering you a term life policy.
I hope this gives you some insight.
