It says that Healthspan \u2013 the length of time a person will be healthy \u2013 is an increasingly important consideration in financial planning. While people are living longer than previous generations, many will experience illness and require medical care as they age, which can be costly.<\/p>\n

MetLife Chief Customer and Marketing Officer Lina Saliba<\/strong> says that 360Health services can be accessed at any time \u201c\u2026not just when someone makes a claim, which means they are getting value from their life insurance with MetLife from the day they purchase the policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company says its research shows that six out of 10 clients who are looking for a new adviser \u201c\u2026would value someone who could help them integrate their health planning with their financial planning.\u201d<\/p>\n
