Help Clients Plan for the Rising Costs of Long-Term Care Services

May 22, 2023 | by | Comments Off on Help Clients Plan for the Rising Costs of Long-Term Care Services

Historically, the cost of long-term care services has increased approximately 5% per year—a trend that isn’t expected to end anytime soon. Clients may be concerned that a policy today may not have adequate funding to address their increased costs in the future, that’s why we offer an Inflation Protection rider on the MutualCare® Custom Solution policy. This allows clients to tailor a plan of coverage to meet their current budget requirements while adjusting for the future increased expenses of LTC services.
