LTC Sales Idea: Buy-Up Option

People want to be sure the long-term care policy they purchase today will be adequate to help pay for the services they need in the future. Many state partnership programs have lowered the inflation protection requirement to 1 percent. That allows you to offer your clients the affordability of a low inflation protection option while ensuring their policy remains partnership qualified. The MutualCare® Custom Solution policy includes a buy-up option that allows insureds to increase their inflation protection percentage once each year.
