Oh, for the fortunate few who find the right doctor who hits on the right medication for their mood disorder the first time, making life insurance a simple process. One day it presents as an annoyance and the next as less than that. But more common is the medication...

How do you know if someone really cares about what they do? If they don’t stop putting the information out there, never stop trying to reach just one more person, because for my clients it’s help that is on the way. I’ve been writing in this forum...

I thought I was going to be famous when I figured out how to play a game of Monopoly, not even life insurance Monopoly, with four people in under a half hour, beginning to end. I think we could add Life insurance and make the game shorter. Just put one square out...

Now there’s a calming thought. You’re still alive, traumatized from head to toe from a car to moose gathering on the highways of Maine and you’ve made it to the hospital. The doctor and nurse start working and you relax as you know that you are with...

I live at the base of Mount Antero here in Colorado (Prospector show on the Weather Channel) and yesterday afternoon hiked up to Brown’s Lake, a twelve mile round trip hike up and down Brown’s Creek. I only went to about 12,000 feet, fairly short of the...

I’ve seen some pretty silly assumptions made by life insurance underwriters in the mood disorder arena, anxiety, ADD, depression, OCD and bipolar disorder. Not that long ago a client came to me after being declined because she took Lamictal for depression....

I, we, Hinerman Group, just completed our reunification move to Colorado. Every once in a while I make bad decisions (moving to NM where it rains), but I am more known for my brilliance (coming back to CO where it snows). With that move I am promising more of the same...

Ah, the good old days. Milk was 50 cents a gallon. Gas was 25 cents a gallon. A new car was under $2000. And life insurance, well, life insurance was so expensive that people had to pay for it by the week. The good old days of life insurance are where we are. In spite...

And when I answer the phone, and it’s me who answers it, I truly want to know just that. How can I help you? If you found me you probably have already experienced life insurance agents who couldn’t help you or wouldn’t help you. You may have suffered...

If being approved for life insurance was guaranteed then there would be no need for independent life insurance agents that specialize in impaired risk underwriting and know how to pick up the pieces after an underwriting train wreck and get things back on track. The...

Gosh. It’s been a while since I’ve talked about bipolar disorder life insurance and the continued success we are having placing reasonably priced life insurance for bipolar and the whole gamut of mood disorders. Since it has been a while let’s review...

When you consider the opposite of stable is unstable it makes it easier to understand why life insurance underwriting uses stability as a benchmark for approval and rates for all mood disorder underwriting. Whether it is depression, anxiety or bipolar disorder life...

I had my memory tested today when I had a call from a man from the town I grew up in. He introduced himself as Howard Johnson which didn’t ring a bell and then he threw out a few more names that didn’t ring a bell. Then he mentioned that he used to be the...

I suppose if you are a car dealer, car advertisements get under your skin if they don’t tell the truth. I’ve been enormously disappointed over the years in the way mega agency Selectquote advertises term insurance. They are deceptive at best. After an...

I want to preface this post by saying I am not making light of any problems that Charlie Sheen may be having or any mental issues that he is dealing with. Nor am I judging him. There was a suggestion made in one interview that he might have bipolar disorder which he...
