Website Disclosures
Understand the scope of our articles and general inquiry service.
Educational information
ShieldWise’s website provides general insurance and Medicare education. Articles, examples, tables and illustrations are not individualized insurance, investment, legal or tax advice.
Consult an appropriately qualified professional for your circumstances. Do not buy, cancel, replace, surrender, borrow against or change a policy solely because of an article.
Insurance coverage and agent licensing
ShieldWise Financial LLC is the operating entity. Our associated agents are licensed in Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Texas.
State availability, eligibility, underwriting, premiums, benefits and restrictions depend on the actual insurer, product and applicant. An appropriately licensed agent must confirm which products and insurers they can discuss with you.
An inquiry, quote, application or payment does not by itself establish effective coverage. The insurer’s issued contract, effective date and requirements govern. Confirm replacement coverage before cancelling an existing policy.
Life insurance values and illustrations
Guaranteed and nonguaranteed values are different. A policy illustration is not a forecast or a promise of future cash value, income or crediting. Policy costs, funding, distributions and debt can affect value and coverage.
An index-credit floor does not prevent insurance charges, fees, withdrawals or loans from reducing policy value. Loans involve interest and obligations; distributions, surrender, lapse and ownership changes can have tax consequences. Obtain advice on the particular contract and transaction.
Medicare education
ShieldWise is not a government agency. This website’s Medicare guides do not determine program eligibility, show every available plan, enroll you in coverage or replace official plan documents.
For official coverage and enrollment information, use Medicare.gov. For assistance, visit Medicare’s contact resources or your State Health Insurance Assistance Program. Confirm the dates and rules relevant to your situation.

Questions and privacy
