What’s New in LTC Insurance? As people age, performing simple tasks become ever more challenging. Many choose to spend their later years in care facilities to ease personal and familial burdens. For most, living in a long term care facility will require additional long-term care insurance, as Medicare and employer benefits cover only a fraction of the expense. Consumer Affairs recently announced its 2016 Top 10 Best Rated Long Term Care Insurance Providers, based on the following criteria: • Coverage & Considerations • Premium Costs
• Out of Pocket Costs • Coverage Limitations • Policy Options
Here are the top 10 best-rated long-term-care insurance providers: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
