Are combination long term care insurance products medically underwritten?

Yes.  As with traditional long term care insurance (LTCi) products, combination LTCi products are medically underwritten.  This means that your health status will affect your rating for these products.  You will want to apply for a combination product at an age when you are in good health!

What is the cost of a long term care combination insurance product?

Many long term care combination insurance products require a single premium payment.  This means that you would pay the bulk sum at the beginning of your policy, rather than writing monthly or annual checks.  Combination long term care products can range in prince, anywhere from around $25,000 to over $200,000.

Who is a good candidate for a combination long term care insurance product?

Many of these combination products require a single premium payment, rather than many monthly payments or annual payments.  Some people purchase these products because there is a one-time payment and no chance of a future rate increase.  If you have a chunk of money that you are able to put toward a single premium payment you might consider a combination product, if you also need life insurance.  It would not be a good idea to purchase a combination product if you already have enough life insurance or if you do not have a need for it.

Why would I want a long term care and life insurance combination policy?

No matter what happens you will receive money from the policy.  The policy will either pay for long term care expenses, pay your estate or beneficiaries a death benefit, or you can have your premium payment refunded at any time.

Combination Long Term Care Policies

Combination Long Term Care insurance (LTCi) policies, also known as linked-benefits or hybrid policies, are quickly gaining popularity.  It combines or links long term care benefits with another type of insurance - life insurance plan or an annuity.  It provides a benefit pool to pay for qualified long term care expenses, but if care is not needed, the heirs receive the life insurance death benefit or the cash value from the annuity.

Who needs life insurance?

For life insurance, your level of need will depend on your responsibilities and your age.  If you have people who depend on your income you need life insurance.  The benefit can help your dependents pay ongoing expenses such as: housing and food, outstanding bills, education, or other day-to-day expenses.  

The primary income earner would also benefit from life insurance on the stay-at-home spouse who cares for children.  Life insurance could provide the money to pay for childcare.
