Brinkley R.e.p.0.r.t Your choices with most companies are 30, 60, 90, 180, and 365 days. Your elimination period with most companies needs to be satisfied once during the life of your policy. Most contracts provide for infla- tion. Each year your daily benefit will increase by a percentage. Many ‘companies have an option for compounding or simple inflation pro- tection as well as a wide range of different types of riders or benefits. The Need for Long-Term Care Insurance Over the last decade, long-term care insurance has become an im- portant element in financial planning. As our population grows older life expectancies are reaching to the ages of the mid-80’s and 90’s due to medicine, physical activity, and better diets. Buying long-term care insurance is the best way to protect your retirement savings from as- tronomical bills. New laws have made it more difficult to qualify for Medicaid coverage. It is estimated that today’s cost for long-term care services can range state to state from approximately $50,000 a year to over $100,000 a year. These costs continue to increase approximately 4% according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index. A long-term care policy aids in the choice of your options. For some, the use of their home is the best choice. Others may choose adult day care centers, hospice facilities, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. Understanding the benefits of a long-term care pol- icy is very important. For instance, most care is paid on a daily basis, but everyone may not need a $250 a day benefit. We recommend to our clients that coverage should supplement your income. For exam- ple, you may be receiving Social Security, IRA withdrawals, pension income, etc. A daily benefit of $75 - $100 could be enough to supplement to avoid a drain on your assets. Daily benefit options can range from $50 a day to $500 a day. You also may select the benefit period of the pay- out. There are a number of choices including periods in years of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, and lifetime. Most policies have an elimination period similar to a deductible on your medical plan. This is the period when you or your family would absorb the cost before your coverage begins. Some companies provide discounts on the premium for excéllent health, for a couple, or for more than one family member. Each pol- icy has limitations and exceptions that should be read and understood. Every insurance company that provides long-term care is rated ac- cording to their financial strength in the industry. The more popular rating companies are AM Best, Fitch Ratings, Standard & Poor’s, and Moody's. Be sure your representative provides you with the informa- tion of the financial strength of the company. Long-term care premiums are considered medical expenses. Med- ical expenses are deductible to the extent that they exceed 7.5% of the individual's adjusted gross income. If you are self-employed, a lim- ited liability corporation, Sub-S corporation; or a C-corporation, there are also tax benefits that should be discussed with your tax advisor. Another great way to purchase long-term care is through payroll de- duction plans with your employer. Long-term care insurance can be complex. To avoid confusion you should contact a professional li- censed long-term care specialist or an investment advisor. In our fi- nancial plans at Brinkley Financial Group, long-term care insurance is an area in which we review and make recommendations for our clients. We work with a variety of companies to find the most com- petitive definitions and premiums in the industry. For a free consul- tation call Brinkley Financial Group. FINRA/SIPC.
