Get Umbrella Insurance Before It’s Too Late

March 9, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Simply put, umbrella insurance  will protect you.  I recently had a client whose employee got in a car accident.  His auto insurance policy payment is not nearly enough to cover his upcoming expenses.  If he had an umbrella insurance (also known as a liability insurance) policy, he would have been protected for so much more.

Life Insurance is Important

March 1, 2011 By Leave a Comment

First, condolences to our good friend Pete at Southwest Rod & Custom who lost a dear friend over the weekend. It got me thinking about life insurance. One of the most overlooked insurance products, it really does provide helpful financial stability for your family in case you need it.

Pete also produces a lot of videos about his hotrods and other custom cars.

Thoughts on Group Dental Insurance

February 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Last week, I was at my Edison, NJ dentist for my routine cleaning.  Dr. Nandra at Serenity Dental Care.  I highly recommend her!  No cavities this time around so I am a pretty happy guy.  As I was sitting in the dentist chair sucking on the air tube, I thought it would be fitting to talk about dental insurance for my next blog post and business insurance video.  So here it goes…

Dental insurance can be split into three types of services:

  • Preventative services (bi-annual cleanings and x-rays)
  • Basic services (root canals, extractions, fillings, etc.)
  • Major services (crowns, dentures, retainers).

These types of services can vary depending on the plan you have.  Usually your insurance company will pay for 100% for preventive care.  But basic and major services coverage can range from 100% to as low as 50% of the total price depending on how your plan is designed.

Make sure your dentist is in your network BEFORE you go see them.  A lot of dental plans are PPO plans.  If the dentist is not in your network, it will cost you more.

My cedar strip canoe that I built in my garage

February 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment

More of the “other” side of Alan at Technology Insurance Associates.  It took me 12 months to build my cedar strip canoe using standard hand tools working on nights and weekends.  We took this baby out on the water and she’s got a nice ride!

You may ask, didn’t you just build an electric car, too?  Well, I sure did.  I’ve got a lot of fun side projects.  Stay tuned for more of my pet projects and, of course, more videos about demystifying insurance.

Do you like my canoe?  Do you have any fun, exciting projects you’ve worked on?  Any ideas for my next project?  I’m all ears!
