Don't Leave Money on the Table:

Activating Your Long-Term Care Insurance

If you've been paying long-term care insurance premiums for years, maybe decades, you've made a smart investment in your future. But here's something that surprises us every day: many families never file a claim, or they give up when the process gets complicated.

That's money left on the table. Your money.

 

Three Steps to Take Now


  1. Locate your policy and read the benefit triggers. Most policies activate when you can't perform two out of six activities of daily living or when cognitive impairment is present.
  2. Understand what documentation you'll need. Knowing this upfront prevents delays and denials.
  3. Don't navigate this alone. A Board-Certified Elder Law Attorney can help you compile medical documentation, communicate with the insurance company, and appeal if needed. Many "denied" claims aren't final; they just need better documentation. 

You paid for this coverage. Let's make sure you use it.

Your Policy May Cover More Than You Think


Many people assume long-term care insurance only covers nursing homes. Not true. Your policy may also cover:


  • Assisted living – This alone could save you thousands of dollars every month
  • Home care services – Professional caregivers coming to you, so you can stay in your own home
  • Adult day programs and other community-based services
