Forget Me Not Days

At Bankers Life, our insurance agents and associates witness firsthand the impact that Alzheimer’s and dementia have on our customers, their families and their caregivers. That’s why we established Bankers Life Forget Me Not Days®, our nationwide fundraising campaign to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association®. This June marks the 23rd anniversary of the campaign. Since 2003, we’ve helped raise more than $7.8 million for the Alzheimer’s Association through the Forget Me Not Days campaign and corporate donations.

Explore Medicare Advantage

You have many choices when it comes to Medicare – Let us help you compare Medicare Advantage plans to find the right coverage for you. Medicare Advantage (Part C) is an all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare Parts A and B.


Let's Talk About Your Plans for Long-Term Care!

As people live longer and health care expenses continue to rise, the need for long-term care becomes more of a "when" than an "if" situation. That's why it's so important to be prepared and have discussions with your loved ones. Ready to start planning your next steps?

    Eric explained all aspects of transitioning into Medicare at 65, including the importance of long term care needs and saving for later years. He was a great communicator, using handmade charts that I was given at the end of our appointments. They helped me remember what we talked about. He was on time and flexible with me as to scheduling meetings.

    Lonnie was my deceased father agent. Because of his professionalism and help when my father passed i decided to give him my business. My father has been dead for three years and the same care that was given then has been extended to me. He is honest and patient. And I feel comfortable asking any question or concern that I may have. I am with this company because of Lonnie. I know I can depend on him. He is an asset for any company. He is loyal and provides great customer service.
