eHealth launches final expense coverage

Medicare broker eHealth announced it now offers final expense life insurance plans as it looks to “better meet the coverage and wellness needs of individuals and families.”

The final expense plans are offered in partnership with Mutual of Omaha and coverage amounts range from $2k to $50k.

“Honoring loved ones upon passing is an important part of life for many families, yet this is an often-overlooked part of end-of-life planning. The cost of a traditional funeral and burial averages over $8,000, so these new plans can help people prepare for this part of life while helping protect their loved ones from the financial burden associated with a funeral and burial or cremation.” – Derrick Duke, CEO of eHealth.
