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. View the Sales Idea to learn more.

LTC Sales Idea: Inflation Protection
Sales Idea Learn how benefits of a standalone LTCi policy can grow with inflation protection. The cost of long-term care services is likely to be higher years down the road when the insured needs care. An optional inflation protection rider allows policy benefits to increase to assist with potential rising costs. Here’s how it works: The current maximum monthly benefit and remaining policy limit increase annually by the percentage the insured selects The increase occurs on each policy anniversary date for the length of time the insured selects – either for the life of the policy or for a limited
