A Long-Term Care Insurance
policy is a contract
between you and an insurance company. In exchange for premium
payments you make, the company promises to pay you for the cost
of covered long-term care and services when you need them...
either by reimbursing you for a certain amount of your expenses
or paying you a designated amount.
Long-Term Care Insurance helps cover the cost of care and services
for people who have an inability to perform certain activities of daily living (ADL's) or a severe
cognitive
impairment.
A Long-Term Care Insurance plan
can help protect your financial independence and help preserve
your quality of life by paying the cost of covered care and services
(subject to policy benefit limits) you receive:
- In your own home, appropriate;
or
- In a qualified long-term care
facility you select.
