Replacement laptops for students within 24 hours of claim – Endsleigh Insurance

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 01, 2011 - Endsleigh recently revealed that students take on average £2,652 worth of goods to university and they have published data on the different types of claims made by students.  One of the most common causes of laptop claims is drinks being split on them.  

Infographic detailing the common insurance claims and their causes http://www.endsleigh.co.uk/Student/Pages/student-insuran ...  

Standard home contents cover is inadequate insurance for modern students, says Endsleigh Insurance.  Prone to accidents in shared houses and with student areas often targeted by thieves, many students have the need to claim on their insurance at some time during their studies.

Endsleigh Insurance has been specialising in student insurance for the last 40 years and in that time there have been massive changes in the type of goods students need to be insured for.  Forty years ago, students had little other than their books and clothes, now modern student houses are packed with valuable gadgets and technology – from laptops, to iPods, televisions and microwaves, it’s no wonder that student homes are so well targeted by thieves.

Too many students are unaware of all the benefits of taking out specialist Student Insurance, leaving them at huge risk.

The Endsleigh student insurance guarantees –
•   With Endsleigh student insurance, you only pay for the cover you need.
•   You’re covered for walk in theft.
•   The student laptop insurance could see you sent a replacement laptop within 24 hours if lost or stolen. *
•   £3000 worth of contents cover
•   Replacement loan item whilst yours is repaired

Endsleigh also offers tailored insurance for students living in halls.
Vicki O’Connell, spokesperson for Endsleigh explained:  “We have seen radical changes in the student population over the last 40 years and the items they claim for have grown hugely in value.”

“Students don’t have the funds to go out and buy a replacement laptop is theirs is lost or stolen, but it causes chaos for them to be without one.  We think offering a replacement laptop for students is the only practical solution – just like offering replacement cars for drivers.”

*Next day represents 1 working day from us accepting your claim.
** We will provide you with a loan notebook if we can’t repair your laptop within 5 working days.

HSA for America Educates the Public on How to Use the New Expanded IRA – a Health Savings Account

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 31, 2011 - Since Health Savings Accounts were introduced in 2004, HSA for America has explained how to trade in an expensive co-pay health plan, which offers nothing beyond medical coverage, for a low-cost Health Savings Account Plan or an HSA Plan with three times the value.  With this year’s expanded health care coverage and benefits that outlast those of IRAs, HSA Plans are experiencing new growth.  HSA for America will host a free “webinar” on Wednesday, August 31, Thursday, September 1 and Friday, September 2 to explain how to get these benefits.  Free registration for “The 3 Keys to Greater Health and Savings with an HSA” is available at http://health--savings--accounts.com/webinar.php.  

This year, HSA Plans offer more health care thanks to health care reform.  Not even HSA-qualified health insurance policies with the highest deductibles have any out-of-pocket expense for preventive services from in-network doctors.  This added coverage has increased the demand for such plans that typically have the best prices on premiums.

While HSA Plans carry the same tax-free-earnings benefit and the tax-deduction advantage to lower taxable income that IRAs do, HSA Plans don’t limit those benefits to people under 65.  HSA Plans allow seniors to keep their investment growing with tax-free earnings and to continue deducting HSA contributions to reduce taxes.

By removing the limits on preventive health care and the under-65 age restriction for IRA-like tax advantages, HSA Plans have become so attractive that consumers are doubling up with a second HSA.  The IRS allows individuals to have multiple Health Savings Accounts, so consumers may combine an investment-oriented HSA with a cash-based one to be used for current health care expenses.  

The original HSA provides tax-free distributions to pay for qualified health care expenses without any restriction on age.  The second HSA acts as a pure investment option.  Unlike an IRAs or a Roth, which require seniors to start withdrawing funds, an HSA lets them continue growing their retirement account with tax-free earnings.  

HSA Plans offer investment options that rival IRAs, such as bonds, no-load mutual funds or stocks.  Interest-earning savings accounts are another option.  Pre-65-year-olds are penalized for withdrawing funds to be spent on anything other than qualified health care, but after 65, there’s no penalty for withdrawing HSA funds regardless of how the money is spent.  Taxes are still due on withdrawals, though.

Consumers can learn how to maximize both savings and tax advantages by combining low-cost health insurance policies with Health Savings Accounts.  The HSA for America free online “webinar” offers the chance to learn from HSA experts about how to select an HSA-qualified health plan, how to establish a Health Savings Account, and how to compare fees, investment options and services.  Registration for “The 3 Keys to Greater Health and Savings with an HSA” is available at http://health--savings--accounts.com/webinar.php on a first-come, first-served basis.  The webinar will be held on Wednesday, August 31, Thursday, September 1, and Friday, September 2 with a choice of three available times.

About HSA for America:

As the nation's leading independent HSA expert, HSA for America has earned a reputation for providing superior educational resources for individuals, families and small businesses. With a comprehensive website at http://www.health--savings--accounts.com/, consumers can evaluate high-deductible health insurance plans that allow them to establish an HSA.
