When you are presented with offers for LTC products and services, your initial reaction would probably be one of askance and uncertainty. These types of services do not apply to anyone who is as young as you. Why in the world would you need these services when you are in the peak of your health and still working? Besides, with your steady income today, long term care prices shouldnt be a problem.
But then again, you may be mistaken.
We can never tell what can go on in the future or what it may bring. As early as now, it is very much important that you learn what the actual costs of care are, and how much an insurance policy can actually benefit you. If you do this, you are one step ahead of securing yourself a better future.
When we talk about LTCI policies, we also think about rates or premiums. This is another reason why we get put off: we always have a constant idea that these policies are way too expensive. However, from a recent survey conducted by insurance companies, the current LTC costs that policy holders are incurring now could go up by four times in the year 2030. Think of this as a small but still worthwhile investment to your health and finances.
You would also need to consider different factors that have a direct impact on your insurance's premiums. Your age, medical background, the place where you are living, and the place where you prefer to receive the LTCS services are some of these factors that can affect the premium of your insurance. The actual long term care prices in the state you’ll retire in is also another factor.
It is always best to know your options before buying an LTCI policy. Each policy is different and you sometimes would have the option to customize your plan that would tailor fit your LTC needs.
If you started early in your LTCI than most individuals, then you are lucky because you are either paying lower premiums than older policy holders or you have special discounts for you and your spouse. The bottom line is you have peace of mind in case that you would need LTC care in the not so distant future, since you are already covered.
Another key tip that you need to remember about long term care insurance costs is that it does vary from time to time. This is another reason why many are not interested in getting this type of insurance, especially for those who are uninsured. For them, there might come a point where they can no longer afford the premium hike that their policies accrue. The initial payments that they made are now considered a loss. But before the insurance companies could impose a hike, they would have to get approval from the State Bureau of Insurance. If the reasons presented by the insurance company are reasonable, only then would the request for increase be approved.
Its always important that you should take extra precaution when it comes to negotiating for your insurance premiums. Its even better if you further review the coverage of your LTCI plan first. If in case you find that the premiums are too high, you can always discuss other options with your insurance agent on how to best meet your future long term care prices.
