Comprehensive financial plans, also known as holistic financial planning or life planning, are meant to take into account all areas of clients’ financial lives to ensure financial security and overall wellbeing. When you consider the fact that one’s health (and healthcare as a service) is a major component of someone’s life, the question goes from “Is healthcare planning valuable?” to “Why haven’t I been doing healthcare planning until now?”

If your goal is to offer truly comprehensive financial plans, you (and more importantly your clients) can’t afford to leave out healthcare. That’s where healthcare planning comes in. 

In this free guide, we break down what healthcare planning is, how it benefits financial advisors and clients, and present data on how financial plans can excel with healthcare planning. Here’s a sneak peek:
