Update to the Premier Underwriting Guide
Update to the Premier Underwriting Guide At NGL, we adapt our LTCi underwriting practices as medical science continues to evolve and more information becomes available. We have identified scenarios where it may be acceptable for an applicant to have two first-degree relatives with dementia.

Some scenarios may be acceptable and others will not, depending on the details. We have updated our Premier Underwriting Guide to reflect this.
