Tips for Buying Long Term Care Insurance

Written By: Attorney Jeffrey A. Marshall, CELA*  

REASONS YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER PURCHASING NOW

1. Although LTCI is expensive, it may provide important financial protection against costly needed care.

2. LTCI can help make certain you always receive the best possible care in the most appropriate setting.

3. Proceeds from qualified LTCI policies are tax- free and some premiums may be tax deductible.

4. LTCI premium costs increase with age at purchase. Once you develop a serious medical condition, you probably won't qualify for coverage.
