AIMS Benefit Solutions Announces Second Product Release for 2011

MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AIMS, a national Marketing Services Administrator (MSA), announced today a solution for assisting with critical illness recovery - Cash Advantage Critical Illness(SM) from Loyal American Life Insurance Company®. This product is a simplified issue product designed to help meet recovery needs of 18 to 59-year -olds who have suffered from a critical illness such as cancer, heart attack, stroke, coronary bypass, angioplasty, paralysis, and nine other covered health conditions. With many changes in health insurance coverage, there is a rising need for supplemental coverage that pays cash for a covered diagnosed condition.

With the potential physical and emotional drain on the family of an individual who is recovering from a critical illness, the last thing they need to worry about is the high cost of treating the critical condition. The total cost of deductibles, co-insurance and home health care costs can appear insurmountable. This situation is often compounded by reduced income due to disability (whether short term or long term), which may be financially devastating to individuals and their loved ones.

Steve Dozier, Chief Executive Officer and President of AIMS, said, "Providing products that help fill the gaps found in various types of medical insurance makes sense for agents who wish to provide a comprehensive coverage option for their clients. AIMS helps agents fill these gaps by developing products with carriers, such as long term care and critical illness insurance - products that target specific areas that are often overlooked in planning for future medical needs. We often talk with our clients about planning for retirement, taxes, and death but find it increasingly important to review coverage for recovery from certain types of medical events and the impact on their families, their finances, and their quality of life."

Products are currently approved in 27 states and approval is pending in others. For more information, producers may visit http://www.aimsci.com or call AIMS Marketing at 800-325-9876.
