To establish a voluntary group, a full census of all employees, whether being offered coverage or not, must be submitted to the insurance company with request form specific to each company.  Approval by the insurance company of a voluntary group is required to obtain a group discount.   

If the employer pays for coverage, there may be an opportunity to have fewer health questions.  

Policies pay for qualified long term care cost based on the contract.  The basis can be cost-Incurred Benefit/Reimbursement Plan or Indemnity Benefit or Cash Benefit

A cost incurred benefit reimburses actual expenses up to the stated daily or monthly benefit amount.

Long term care insurance protects against the cost of care resulting from an injury, illness, accident, development of a chronic condition or the fraility that comes with aging.  Costs occur when either facility care (nursing home or assisted living) or care in the home or in the community (home health care or adult day care) when paid caregivers are needed. 

The cost varies with each person. It is based on state of residence, age, health and benefits selected. To obtain specific pricing, contact a long term care planning specialist with Baygroup Insurance.
