Important Things To Keep In Mind
Insurance Company Ratings Matter
The rating of the company you buy from is very important. The Association has a page listing the leading long-term care insurance companies. Click to read the for Leading LTC Insurance Companies and to see their ratings.
Your Health Matters Most
It's important to start considering long-term care insurance when you are still able to "health qualify". Insurers offer individuals in good health discounts that are locked in. So, even when your health changes, and everyone's does, you'll still enjoy the savings. More important, you'll have locked in your insurability. Wait too long, and a health condition could arise that makes you uninsurable. Each insurance company sets their own acceptable health standards -- a reason you want to start by talking to a long-term care insurance professional with access to multiple insurance companies.
Rates Can Vary Significantly - It Pays To Compare
Each year we compare prices for virtually identical long-term care insurance coverage. For someone age 55, we have found rates can vary by a few hundred dollars a year... to nearly $1,000. Some insurance agents are only licensed and appointed to represent one insurance company -- and that may indeed be your best option. But it pays to ask and it may pay to work with someone who has access to multiple insurers. It costs nothing to get a comparison quote to make sure you have the best coverage for the best price.
