Highlights of Aflac Group Plan for Culhane Meadows
- Culhane Meadows has a group Aflac rate – this means the premiums being offered are 30-40% lower than individual rates.
- Groups, like CMs, are eligible for about twice as many policies (i.e., type of plans) than individuals.
- We never age with Aflac – meaning, the premium you are charged when you sign up is ‘frozen’ and Aflac will never cancel a policy due to health or other reasons (other than non-payment of premiums).
- Aflac plans belong to YOU – meaning, if you change jobs or retire, you keep the plan at the SAME GROUP RATE.
- Aflac plans stand alone – this means if you have more than one Aflac plan with the same benefit, you will be paid on each plan independent of the other.
- If you have had cancer, but have been cancer-free for five (5) years, YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE CANCER POLICY (This also goes for heart attack, stroke, other major medical events).
- Culhane Meadows will write the check on your behalf and deduct from your draw (as with our current disability policy, accounting will collect from you the cost of your premium prior to the firm paying on your behalf).

Take a minute and think about all the other insurance you might have, Major Medical, Dental, and Vision policies are all designed to help you pay doctors, hospitals, and related costs when your injured or become ill. This is where Aflac is different from any other insurance you might have. Aflac understands that with any accident or illness a financial burden to some degree is incurred.This is why Aflac cash benefits are paid directly to you, to give you financial help when you need it most regardless if you have any other kind of insurance or not. You are free to use the money any way you see fit.
How are benefits determined? Aflac has identified events you could go through while seeking medical attention for an accident or illness and assigned a dollar amount to each event, the more serious the illness or accident the larger the benefit is to you.
