Kevin Lorenzen is the District Sales Coordinator for Aflac (American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus). You may have heard the duck quack “AFLAC” on their commercials, but it is important as an individual or an employer to understand the financial benefits of supplemental benefits. In one example today,  Kevin explains how an “AFLAC Hospital” plan helps with the expenses not covered by major medical, which can help prevent high deductibles and out‐of‐pocket expenses from derailing your life plans. Find out more about AFLAC supplemental benefits at https://www.aflac.com/agents/kevin_lorenzen.aspx. Call Kevin at (505) 604-4216 or email him at kevin_lorenzen@us.aflac.com.
