Long Term Care Planning Begins with Understanding

Posted on April 21, 2012 by health plans| 6 Comments

Article by meredith colee

If you’re in the process of planning your long term care, how will you possibly deal with an insurance agent who claims to be an expert on the subject, but when you start asking about important terms from a long term care glossary he says he has not come across them yet?

You’ll naturally distrust that person, right? So what’s your next plan after dismissing the unconvincing agent?

No, don’t call another broker just yet. You’re right in saying that there are tons of other long term care insurance (LTCI) agents out there but it’s better to be prepared for the worse.

Before you contact another one, take some time to familiarize yourself with important words relevant to the long term care (LTC) industry and the meaning of each. After all, you’re working on your own plan so it is just apt to know all the necessary terms by heart before you actually begin your plan.

Long term care, for instance, is a very important term but not many people understand its true meaning. Many take it for granted thinking that they will never require it in their life because they are not predisposed to a life-threatening illness.

Only few people understand that long term care is not primarily designed for the sick but for those who are too weak to function normally because of a chronic illness, disability or infirmity resulting from old age.

Many also think that LTC is only provided in nursing homes. If only they take some time off their regular mundane activities they will eventually come to the realization that should they require LTC in the future they can receive it anywhere they wish.

Speaking of receiving LTC, there are so many LTC settings that you can look into but you have to get the definition of each from a long term care glossary first. There’s in-home care, assisted living, adult day health care, hospice care, continuing-care retirement community, and nursing home among many others.

Each of these LTC settings offers a unique set of services. Know what they are and at the same time the extent of services that each provides.

As you work on enriching your LTC vocabulary, don’t miss out the two types of care providers. One provides custodial care or personal care while the other one specializes in medically necessary care. Make sure that you don’t confuse one with the other because if you do, you’ll be putting your health, if not life, on the line.

As your progress, you will come across interesting terms or jargons that are widely used in the long term care insurance industry. Memorizing each by heart will be beneficial for you in the long run.

For example, you finally decided to buy a policy and then you encountered terms like maximum benefit amount, benefit period, elimination period, inflation protection, and free-look period among others. Since you’ve come across these terms before you don’t need to look them up anymore, instead, all you need to figure out is the variable to go with each component of your policy.

Familiarizing yourself with the long term care glossary does not mean you have to hold back questions from your insurance agent, though. If you need further enlightenment don’t hesitate to ask because your future will depend on the answers that you’ll get.

Regulating Long Term Care Insurance

Posted on April 7, 2012 by health plans| 333 Comments

Long term care insurance provides benefits for skilled, intermediate and/or custodial care. Generally, skilled care must be prescribed by a doctor, provided by a registered nurse and available 24 hours a day. Intermediate care refers to occasional nursing and rehabilitative care under the supervision of skilled medical personnel. Custodial care involves assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing or eating, that can be performed by someone without medical skills. It is usually provided in residential care homes or to individuals in their own homes. The best policies pay for all three kinds of care, including care by nonprofessionals, such as family members or friends.

Benefits are paid on either an indemnity or reimbursement basis. A typical reimbursement policy will not pay more than the actual charge, regardless of the maximum daily benefit amount, with any unused portion carried over to the next period. Under an indemnity policy, the insured is paid the daily or monthly benefit, regardless of the actual charges.

Benefits are generally triggered by the loss of two or more ADLs or a cognitive impairment. However, the definition of ADLs used in the particular long term care policy can make an enormous difference in terms of whether or not benefits will be paid. For example, some policies count bathing and dressing as two separate ADLs, while other policies combine bathing and dressing into a single ADL. Since most insureds tend to lose bathing and dressing first, the effect of combining bathing and dressing into one ADL is significant — no benefits will be paid until the ability to perform a third ADL is lost, something that may never occur.

Important features to look for in long term care policies include: coverage for skilled, intermediate and custodial care, including home care; low ADL requirements to qualify for benefits; no prior hospitalization requirement; inflation protection features; waiver of premium; guaranteed renew-ability and coverage for Alzheimers and other cognitive impairments.

Know the regulations

Recognizing the potential for fraud, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) established model acts and regulations to help standardize long term care insurance. Most states have enacted similar statutes that regulate the sale and substance of long term care insurance policies. Understanding these statutes is essential for any agent who currently sells or is contemplating selling long term care insurance.

For example, agents must provide an outline of coverage to all prospective applicants at the time of the initial solicitation. This outline must include a brief description of benefits along with any limitations or exclusions, the terms under which the policy may be returned and the premium refunded, the relationship of the cost of care and the benefits, and the terms under which the policy may be continued, including any waiver of premium provisions.

According to one statute, insurers must “develop and use suitability standards to determine whether the purchase or replacement of long term care insurance is appropriate for the needs of the applicant.” These standards must take into consideration the applicants ability to pay for the proposed coverage, the applicants goals with respect to long term care, and the value, benefits, and costs of their existing insurance, if any, compared to the value, benefits and costs of the proposed coverage. In this regard, agents must make “reasonable efforts to obtain the [necessary] information” in order to determine if the applicant meets the suitability standards by asking applicants to complete a long term care personal worksheet.

Agents also owe a statutory duty of honesty and good faith. Specifically, with regard to long term care insurance, “all insurers, brokers, agents, and others engaged in the business of insurance owe a policyholder or a prospective policyholder a duty of honesty, and a duty of good faith and fair dealing.” Significantly, the statute separately provides that the conduct of an agent “during the offer and sale of a policy previous to the purchase is relevant to any action alleging a breach of the duty of honesty, and a duty of good faith and fair dealing.” Thus, the statutory duty of honesty, and good faith and fair dealing is owed to insureds and applicants and, unlike the common-law duty of good faith and fair dealing implicit in every insurance contract, is not dependent on the issuance of a policy.

Clearly, there is the potential for premium dollars in the long term care market. However, before you jump in with both feet, you must commit the time and effort necessary to learn the intricacies of the product, including the statutes that regulate the sale and substance of long term care insurance.

When to Purchase Long Term Care Insurance

Posted on March 4, 2012 by health plans| 240 Comments

Article by Larry Mitchell

When you’re young, vibrant and healthy, it’s hard to think years ahead into the future of your health. It’s even harder to imagine a serious illness or injury befalling you that could require long term care. But it’s when you’re young and healthy that you should consider purchasing long term care insurance.

Like so much in life, being prepared for health emergencies can best be appreciated once you have one. If you ever need to use your long term care insurance coverage, you’ll be thankful for your foresight on a daily basis.

Though it’s hard to look ahead and consider difficulties that might face you, considering them now can pay you huge dividends in the future. If you purchase long term care insurance while in the prime of your life, you will have the peace of mind that comes from knowing your needs will be taken care of when and if you get ill or injured. You’ll know the costs will be covered and you’ll know – perhaps to your relief – that you won’t have to rely on friends or relatives for care.

So, when should you consider the purchase of long term care insurance? According to the independent Long Term Care Guide, for many of us, right now is as good a time as any.

First, can you afford to pay the premiums on your long term care insurance policy? Long term care insurance premiums skyrocket with each passing year. Buying a policy in your 40s or 50s may seem unnecessary, but it will lock in a dramatically lower premium for the rest of your life. Depending on your tax situation, age and current salary, there may be some tax benefits for you.

Do you have any health problems now or is there a history of long-term illness in your family? If so, you might want to purchase long term care insurance before you actually need it. If you are already ill or have a long term illness, you might not qualify. It’s best to purchase your long term care insurance policy before you get into a situation that could exclude you from getting the coverage you need. If you are ill or already suffering from an injury requiring long-term care, you might not be able to purchase a policy.

Are you younger than 65? Waiting to purchase a long term care insurance policy until you are older than 65 can cost you considerably more than if you purchase at a younger age.

Do you have close friends or family that would happily take on your care needs? Do you want to burden friends or family members with your care? Even if you have close family and friends and might prefer their care to the care strangers would provide, purchasing a long term care insurance policy would give you an opportunity to give your family member or friend a break now and then. You might use the care paid for by your long term care insurance policy to aid you on weekends or evenings, when family members or friends handling your care need a break.

Purchasing your long term care insurance policy while you’re healthy is one step toward independence. You can perhaps get a better rate on the policy and you can make decisions about your care before you actually need it.

Hot New Product: Long Term Care Annuities

Posted on February 12, 2012 by health plans| 323 Comments

Article by Robert D. Cavanaugh, CLU

In the next few minutes you will learn about a new insurance industry product that provides long term care insurance coverage if you ever need it, but requires no policy, premiums or health qualifications.

Why Seniors Don’t Buy Long Term Care

1. In my experience, over half the people who shun long term care insurance do so because they feel they will never need it. It is difficult to visualize going to a nursing home. Statistically, half of these people will be right.

However, there are a number of scenarios where the person may need some kind of assistance but never see the front door of a nursing home. In fact, most people who need long term care can receive care without ever leaving their home.

When you stop and think about it, the decision not to buy long term care insurance is a decision to self insure. This can be costly and possibly devastating.

The average cost of a nursing home today is ,000 per year and rising. At that rate, it doesn’t take but a few years to grind through a modest estate. If both the husband and wife need nursing home care, the time to dissipate an estate is cut in half.

A person can spend 40 years in a career building a retirement nest egg. They spend another 40+ years conservatively managing their money while trying to keep up with inflation. If they need to go into a nursing home during the last five years of their life, it all could be gone quickly.

It doesn’t have to be that way as you will soon see.

2. Many people think long term care insurance is too expensive. They may be right.

If a person waits too long to apply, they may have sticker shock. The rates are based on age.However, long term care comes with a lot of bells and whistles. When you strip away some of the options that may be nice to have, but not essential, the premium is a lot lower.

If a person looks at a plan that covers home health care only, the premium is lower yet. This takes care of the 50% who never will need to go into a nursing home.

The only thing better is coverage without a premium, which I will get to in a minute.

3. Most people react to a problem only when the problem surfaces. If a person waits to apply for long term care insurance until they are experiencing health problems, any long term care insurance plan may be prohibitively expensive or altogether unavailable.

The Solution: The Long Term Care Insurance That is Not a Policy

The insurance industry is very competitive. This very competition engenders new thinking and creative policies. Enter “Long Term Care Annuities.”There are only a few companies offering this product and the structure differs from company to company. To give you a general overview of the concept and mechanics, I am going to describe the main aspects of one carrier’s contract. Check with your financial planner for all the options.

The underlying base of an “LTC annuity” is an annuity. Nothing new here; annuities have been around for a hundred years. They are safe, the funds accrue at a competitive interest rate, and the account grows tax-deferred.

To form an LTC annuity, the insurance company has built in a “long term care option.” It is not a rider. There is no premium. It is simply an option you elect if long term care is ever needed. Sweet.

To qualify, a person only needs to lose two of six ADLs (activities of daily living). ADLs are insurance companies’ method of determining the qualification for levels of care. They are eating, bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring (walking) and continence.

The person doesn’t have to be in a nursing home. They simply need to have demonstrated the inability to perform two of the six ADLs to qualify to put the long term care option in their annuity in action.

An Example

If a male, age 60, places 0,000 into an LTC annuity, assuming a conservative interest rate, the policy would grow to 0,000 in ten years. If the 0,000 were converted into a life income, the person would receive ,200 per month for the balance of their life. An 8.8% return. Not too bad, considering it is guaranteed no matter what.

If this person needs long term care at age 70 by virtue of losing two of six ADLs and elected the long term care option, the life income would jump to ,500 a month.

Conclusion

These new products, long term care annuities, provide the option to receive long term care benefits only if they are needed. There is no separate long term care insurance policy, no premiums and generally little or no underwriting.Now there are no excuses. Those who feel they will never need long term care will simply never exercise their LTC option. Those who find long term care too expensive have an alternative with no premiums. Moreover, those who have health issues can obtain long term care benefits, as underwriting is simplified or non-existent.

How To Find The Best Rates On Long Term Care Insurance In Oregon

Posted on February 9, 2012 by health plans| 310 Comments

Article by Angela Farnsworth

Many people have the mistaken impression that the government will take care of all their long term health care needs once they reach the age of 65. While it is true that the state of Oregon’s Medicaid program will provide limited long term care for some patients over the age of 65, the Medicaid program offers little in the way of a choice of facilities or services provided.

In order to feel more confident that you will be able to receive not only the care you need but to receive such care at a place of your choice, it is vital that you purchase your own long term health care insurance in Oregon.

Unfortunately there are so many factors to consider when purchasing long term health care that it is probably advisable that most people seek the help and advice of a skilled insurance professional when purchasing a long term health plan.

Consider carefully each choice you make in your long term care coverage, as each decision can have a pronounced effect on how much you pay for your insurance as well as on the ultimate care you will receive if you should ever need long term care.

Many plans have a built-in time limit for how long they will provide care. This time limit may be expressed in terms of days, weeks, months or years, or the limit may be set by establishing a cap on the total amount the policy will pay toward long term care.

The type of long term care that will be provided is also a factor in the price you pay. Does your coverage pay for round-the-clock nursing home care, or does it pay only for part-time care in your own home?

Since insurance premiums are less the younger you are when you take out your long term care policy, taking out a policy sooner rather than later will also save you money, and make your monthly payments more affordable over the long run.

However, if you purchase a long term health care policy at, say, age 40, you should consider a policy which has a built-in inflation adjustment so benefits remain equal with real-world prices.

Long term health care is something that none of us likes to think about, but according to the Oregon Department of Insurance almost one half of all Oregon citizens over the age of 65 will need such care at some point, so it only makes sense to search now for the best rates possible on long term health care in Oregon.

Another Way to Get Long Term Care Coverage

Posted on January 25, 2012 by health plans| 279 Comments

Article by Ozeme J. Bonnette

So many Americans are worried about how healthcare reform will ultimately impact them. As we age, the potential for long term care needs becomes more and more of a concern.

The biggest reason many people do not purchase long term care insurance is because they are worried about paying for it and never using it. However, just like every other insurance product, it is better to have it than to realize too late that we actually would have benefited from it.

There are products available, though, that allow you access to long term care coverage if the need arises. These products combine long term care insurance with other insurance products – life insurance or annuities. The long term care insurance is added as a rider to the other insurance product that is being purchased.

There are a variety of ways to purchase these combination products, and it depends on what makes the most sense for the policyholder. Here are a few variations to consider.

Premium options

Some policies are only available with a single premium payment – one large lump-sum payment. Others will allow for multiple, flexible premium payments over time.

If there is a concern that the premiums will “go to waste” if the policyowner never needs long term care, some insurance carriers still offer the return of premium feature. This feature refunds premiums paid toward long term care insurance if it is never used.

Payout options

Some life insurance-long term care combination products will accelerate the death benefit so that the policyholder has access to cash to cover long term care expenses. Other products separate the long term care benefits so that they can be drawn completely independently of the life insurance.

Most policies are flexible in how the long term care monies can be spent. Many policies allow the monies to cover expenses in a facility as well as for in-home care.

There are caps to the long term care insurance payout. Some will determine the cap based on a multiple of the life insurance death benefit. For example, a 0,000 life insurance policy may determine that the long term care benefit is capped at twice the death benefit, or 0,000.

Some insurance carriers offer an additional rider that will enable to policy to continue to pay long term care benefits even after the original policy’s cap is met.

Underwriting options

Some insurance carriers are willing to accept a simplified underwriting process. This makes it easier for potential policyowners with health issues to still qualify for a policy. While they may be faster to get, policies with simplified underwriting may not offer as high of a payout for either long term care or the death benefit.

Combination policies make long term care more accessible for people who may not be able to afford a more expensive individual long term care policy. With a variety of options, these policies can be tailored to meet the needs of each policyowner. A financial professional can help families review the various options to create a policy that works best for the household.

Understanding Long-Term Care Insurance

Posted on January 16, 2012 by health plans| 314 Comments

Long term care improves and extends one’s life, but it could induce suffering and burden on the person and his or her families when the costs blow the finances away. Long term care insurance is by far more important than any other kinds because it involves health and life, and it protects the person’s wealth against the financial devastation of long term care.

 

Many people are hesitant in buying LTCi because they are discouraged with the costs of care, or the lack of knowledge on what long term care insurance really encompasses. It is important to understand what LTC insurance is all about to know your options and prepare for the future.

 

 

Why is it Crucial? Few people understand why they need to insure their long term care. Assuming the cost of nursing home care today is ,000 annually for a semi-private room, and then what would be the price in the next five years? The costs of LTC increase every year, so it will be devastating for a person to pay out-of-pocket expenses.

 

Many seniors also depend on Medicare to shoulder their expenses.

In fact, Medicare only pay the first 20 days, but the expenses for the next 80 days require a supplement. Once you used all the 100 days, you won’t ever qualify for the benefits again unless you stay in hospital for 60 days.

 

 

 

What are the types of long-term care insurance policies?

There are two types of LTCi policies:

 

Tax qualified: The benefits are non-taxable while the premiums are tax deductible. The downside of this is that it is highly regulated: the patient must be disabled who needs care for at least 90 days that should go well with a plan of care as prescribed by a doctor.

Non-tax Qualified: The benefits are taxable, but it is simpler than the previous one.

A person can get benefits on any medical condition for as long as doctor determines the care and the insurance company agrees that the claim is legitimate. However, only few companies are offering this type nowadays.

Both types of policies can be purchased as individual policies or group policies.  Always buy a policy that is guaranteed renewable, with 30 days free look period, and can’t be modified freely by the insurer. There are features in most LTC policies so make sure to ask the insurer to explain everything about the contract and the policies.  Transact only in an insurer with proven track record in the industry to secure your finances and your health as well.

 

Who is eligible for long-term care insurance?

 

Middle-aged individuals with good health are eligible for long term care insurance. Those aged 70 and above with a pre-existing condition will not qualify for LTCi and, if they are able to get any coverage, the premiums are more expensive as expected.

 

The person’s current state of health and possibility of becoming ill or disabled are main considerations for buying LTCi coverage, even those are still in their 20s, 30s, and 40s can use it as good investment. It applies the rule “early bird catches the worm”: the younger you buy the policy the lower the premiums will become. People already in their 50s should start shopping for LTCi immediately before any health problem strikes.
