Louisiana Health Insurance

What is a PPO plan?

A PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plan is a health plan where favored service providers, such as doctors and hospitals, have a contract with an insurance company or a health plan to offer service for their policyholders. Generally, the preferred service provider agreed to accept an insurance company's usual payment. If you have a PPO contract, and do not use the preferred service providers, you will likely pay more for services rendered by the physician or hospital.

Louisiana Auto Insurance

Can I drive legally without insurance?

No, almost every state requires that you have auto insurance. All states also have financial responsibility laws meaning that if you do not have insurance, you need to have sufficient assets to pay claims if involved in an accident. If you don’t have enough assets, you are required to purchase the state minimum amount of insurance. Car insurance is a necessity.

Louisiana Business Insurance

What does a Business Insurance Policy usually cover?

For Instance, the Business Owners Policy includes property insurance for buildings, business interruption insurance which covers loss of assets due to events that disrupts business, and liability protection covering damages the company may inflict upon others.

Louisiana Renters Insurance

Are there any coverage limits for Renter's Insurance?

Yes, there are often coverage limits for personal items such as computers, other electronic equipment, jewelry, and even clothing. Sometimes, you may be able to attain additional coverage for certain items, but the amount of coverage varies according to the insurer.

Louisiana Homeowners Insurance

Am I required to get Homeowners Insurance for my home?

No, you are not required by law to get Homeowners Insurance to cover your home. However, depending upon where you live, lenders may require that you have homeowners insurance before offering you a loan. For instance, in areas prone to flooding, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters, insurance is required by banks and lenders before making a loan. You never know when disaster may strike and leave your home damaged or even destroyed. For this reason, it is not a good idea to be without homeowners insurance.
