This November marks the
19
th
anniversary

Remember, LTCi not only provides benefits should one experience a long-term care need, but it can also protect the income and assets – 401[K]s, IRAs, pensions – that clients work so hard to build. Take advantage of the awareness raised throughout this month’s campaign to discuss the importance of proper long-term care planning with your clients.

"The Modernization of Long-Term Care Underwriting"

There are many directions the industry could head in the coming years, but one thing is for sure – underwriting is going to continue to improve. As such, the message that there’s no better time to buy than now is perhaps more important than ever. See our recent blog post below for a discussion of this topic.
