Many people assume that once they retire, they need not worry about healthcare. They think Medicare is free and will take care of all their health-care needs. That's not true.

The debate on the budget deficit has been pretty intense for the past couple of years. The main issue surrounding this debate has been healthcare, and rightfully so. According to the White House Budget Office, for the fiscal year 2012, the federal government collected about $2.5 trillion in revenue and spent over $900 billion on healthcare, which is more than a third of all tax receipts. The Medicare program (a health insurance program for people 65 or older, people under 65 with certain disabilities, and people with End-Stage Renal Disease) alone cost $545 billion, while Medicaid (a joint federal and state government healthcare program for people with limited means) cost about $250 billion. Despite this massive healthcare spending by the government, seniors continue to incur hundreds of thousand of dollars in out of pocket healthcare expenses during retirement. With the rising cost of healthcare and people living longer, the healthcare issue is not likely to disappear for the foreseeable future.

The mass affluent aren’t worth a planner’s time, right? New technology is upending that assumption and opening up entire new markets to forward-thinking advisors.
In this article journalist Lauren Barack talks about the importance of engaging clients in the financial planning process; give them something to play with. Perhaps she didn’t clearly differentiate that the Personal Financial Index® from OMYEN is for client education whereas the Wealth Planner^TM is for financial advisors to develop advanced cash-flow based financial plans for their clients. Here’s a link to this article.

Most advisers can use all the help they can get with tedious and error-prone daily tasks such as prospecting, data entry and filling out client forms... The Personal Financial Index® gets the process going. The index, to which advisers can supply a customized link from their own website, provides a personal financial health benchmark that can be completed within 10 minutes.

When creating a retirement plan for high-net-worth clients, many advisers don’t put a lot of their own effort into calculating health care costs. After all, those clients are wealthy and well-insured, and in many larger firms, doing the math — and/or getting the commission — is somebody else’s job.
Retiree Healthcare Planner from Omyen Corp. attempts to answer the biggest question on most retirees’ minds: How much should I set aside for health care expenses in retirement? Rather than going by average-life-expectancy data, Omyen’s Retiree Healthcare Planner uses individual-client data, including age, health history and family health history, as well as information on that person’s level of physical activity and whether he or she smokes, to get a sense of what health care costs might be in retirement. Clients as young as 40 can use the program.

Approximately 60% of advisors include healthcare planning as part of their overall retirement planning process with clients, but advisors often lack information to make accurate judgments to address clients’ health concerns. The Retiree Healthcare Planner developed by Omyen, a MA-based company, estimates both the client’s longevity and geographically adjusted healthcare expenses. The planner was developed using publicly available health statistics and input from doctors and specialists who helped as- sess risk factors. The tool asks clients to input approximately 15 pieces of information (e.g., smoking, activity level, weight, family- health history) and from those, it projects the clients’ expected longevity. In addition, the planner takes into account the timing of healthcare costs, weighting costs more heavily toward the end of the clients’ life. As such, the output gives year-by-year estimates of healthcare costs, allowing advisors to match cash flow against costs. Such a tool could help advisors better navigate their older clients’ health concerns by making sure the client has adequately funded their healthcare, given their individual situation.

Building good retirement income software is challenging. The field of retirement income planning itself is still evolving, and the software supporting those efforts is evolving along with it. Numerous approaches to generating a retirement income plan are currently available. We’ve profiled a handful of lesser-known yet valuable applications, each designed to create meaningful retirement income planning results with minimal data entry.
Firm: OMYEN
Product: Sustainable Retirement Income Planner (SRIP)
URL: https://www.omyen.com/
OMYEN offers a number of innovative products for planners and individuals. The Personal Financial Index® (PFI module) is essentially an interactive client questionnaire with some basic calculation capabilities built in. It calculates a score designed to be a single numerical estimate of the client or prospect’s overall financial health, in much the same way that a FICO score is meant to represent a person’s creditworthiness. The SRIP leverages the information collected when compiling the PFI score to arrive at a Retirement Income Schedule ...

Financial planning applications come in two flavors, goal-based or cash-flow-based, and neither type does a very good job of equipping advisers with ways to estimate insurance or health care costs for their clients ...
