Supplemental Insurance in Northwest Arkansas — Dental, Vision, Cancer & Hospital Indemnity
Cancer, hospital indemnity, dental, and vision plans that pay cash benefits directly to you — covering the deductibles, copays, and everyday costs your primary coverage was never designed to handle.

Medicare and major medical plans are built to cover catastrophic medical expense. They are not built to cover a crown, a pair of progressive lenses, the deductible on a three-day hospital stay, or the mileage and lost income that come with cancer treatment.
Supplemental insurance closes those gaps for a modest monthly cost. Most plans pay a fixed cash benefit directly to you, to spend however the situation demands.
Eric Feltner helps clients across Northwest Arkansas choose supplemental coverage that solves a real exposure — never coverage layered on for its own sake.
Problems We Solve
What usually goes wrong — and how we prevent it
Medicare covers almost no routine dental
Original Medicare doesn't pay for cleanings, fillings, crowns, dentures, or implants. A single crown can exceed a full year of standalone dental premium.
Vision costs land entirely on you
Exams, frames, lenses, and contacts are out of pocket under most primary coverage, and they recur every year or two.
A cancer diagnosis costs more than treatment
Travel to specialists, lodging, lost work, and household help are all real costs no medical plan reimburses. Cancer plans pay a lump cash benefit at diagnosis, with no restriction on use.
A short hospital stay wipes out your deductible
Hospital indemnity plans pay a fixed amount per admission and per day, which for Medicare Advantage members frequently offsets the plan's daily inpatient copays entirely.
You're on a fixed income and can't absorb surprises
For retirees in Northwest Arkansas, predictability matters more than anything. Supplemental coverage converts an unknown exposure into a small known premium.
How It Works
A clear process, start to finish
Eric starts by identifying what your current coverage genuinely leaves exposed — the inpatient copay structure of your Medicare Advantage plan, your major medical deductible, your dental history, your family cancer history.
Only where a meaningful gap exists does he recommend a product, and he tells you when a plan isn't worth the premium in your situation. Dental and vision plans can be browsed and quoted online immediately through his Ameritas portal.
Benefits pay directly to you, not to the provider, so the money goes wherever the need actually is.

What's Covered
Your options, explained in plain English
Dental insurance
Preventive, basic, and major services including crowns, dentures, and in many plans implants — with a choice of network and annual maximum.
Vision insurance
Annual exams plus allowances for frames, lenses, and contacts, with predictable copays.
Cancer insurance
A lump-sum cash benefit at diagnosis, with optional riders for treatment, transportation, and recurrence.
Hospital indemnity insurance
Fixed daily and per-admission cash benefits designed to offset inpatient copays and deductibles — especially valuable alongside Medicare Advantage.
Local Coverage
Serving All of Northwest Arkansas
Supplemental coverage is written for clients across Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, Bentonville, Huntsville, Berryville, Marshall, and Harrison.
Retirees in Northwest Arkansas frequently carry Medicare Advantage plans with daily inpatient copays that stack quickly during a stay at Washington Regional or Mercy. A hospital indemnity plan costing a few dollars a week can cover that entire exposure — one of the highest-value, least-known moves available to local Medicare beneficiaries.
FAQs
Supplemental Insurance questions, answered
Does Medicare cover dental and vision in Arkansas?+
Original Medicare covers essentially no routine dental or vision care. Some Medicare Advantage plans include limited allowances, but they are often capped well below the cost of major work. Standalone dental and vision plans usually deliver deeper coverage.
What is hospital indemnity insurance and who needs it?+
It pays a fixed cash amount for each hospital admission and each day of a stay, regardless of what your primary insurance pays. It's especially valuable for Medicare Advantage members whose plans charge daily inpatient copays.
How does cancer insurance work?+
Most plans pay a lump-sum cash benefit on a covered diagnosis, paid directly to you rather than to a provider, so it can cover travel, lodging, lost income, or anything else the situation requires.
Can I have supplemental insurance along with Medicare Advantage?+
Yes. Dental, vision, cancer, and hospital indemnity plans are separate products that coordinate with any primary coverage, including Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans.
Is supplemental insurance worth the cost?+
It depends entirely on your exposure. If your plan carries daily inpatient copays or you're facing significant dental work, the answer is often clearly yes. Eric will tell you plainly when it isn't worth it.
How quickly can supplemental coverage start?+
Dental and vision plans can often be quoted and enrolled the same day. Cancer and hospital indemnity plans typically involve brief health questions and start within days.
Do I need to answer medical questions?+
Dental and vision generally require none. Cancer and hospital indemnity plans usually involve a short health questionnaire rather than an exam.
