Is it time to review your beneficiary designation?

When group benefit plans include a life insurance component, the insured employee must choose someone to receive the benefit after their death.

Naming a beneficiary is a serious decision:
  • How do you choose a beneficiary for your group benefit plan?
  • Should the beneficiaries for your group benefits plan be the same as your will?
  • What if your beneficiaries are minors?
  • When should you review your beneficiary?

pharmacyAsk the Pharmacist: Blood Thinners  
What are they?

Millions of people across the world have blood clots as a result of heart or blood vessel diseases. Blood clots can form in veins, arteries, and the heart. When a clot or a piece of blood clot breaks away, the clot known as an embolus can move throughout the body and cause a heart attack or stroke. Blood thinners are medications that help prevent or reduce the clotting of blood in arteries, veins or the heart.
