An ancillary benefits company is expanding into the life and income protection arenas.
AlwaysCare Benefits, a unit of Starmount Life Insurance Company, Baton Rouge, La., says it will be marketing group life insurance, short-term disability insurance and long-term disability insurance products underwritten by National Guardian Life Insurance Company, Madison, Wis.
Both employee-paid plans and employer-paid plans are available, AlwaysCare says.
Both the basic, employer-paid life plans and the voluntary, employee-paid plans include accidental death and dismemberment coverage and 2-year rate guarantees.
