Long Term Care Insurance (LTC) Why Would I Ever Need LTC?

What is Long Term Care Insurance (LTC)? Long term care insurance pays for services required if a person is unable to care for himself/herself due to injury, chronic illness, natural aging process or disability. It is a “RISK” insurance. Just like car insurance – you buy it and hope you never need to make a claim!

What is Long Term Care Insurance (LTC)? Coverage includes: Skilled services, Intermediate Services, and Custodial Services Provided through: Home Health Care, Adult Day Care, and Nursing Home Care

Purpose of LTC You may need LTC if you can no longer perform “activities of daily living”(ADLs) by yourself. Eating Dressing Bathing Continence Toileting Transferring Typically, a policy will pay benefits when you can no longer perform a certain number of ADLs, such as three of the six or two of the six. Other Reasons: Doctor’s Certification of Medical Necessity Cognitive Impairment (Alzheimer’s) Prior Hospitalization

Reasons to not purchase LTC “I’m too young” “My family will take care of me” “Medicare and Medicaid will cover my bills” “I can save enough on my own” “LTC insurance is too expensive”

Test Your LTC Knowledge False True 1. Most long term care is provided in a nursing home. 2. Nearly 40% of the LTC population is under the age of The average length of stay in a nursing home is more than five years. 88% of people who receive LTC receive care at home or in an adult day care center. 12% receive care in a facility. 40% of people receiving LTC are working-age adults aged Most nursing home stays are short, recuperative stays. 10% of the nursing home population faces a stay of five years or more.

Test Your LTC Knowledge False True 4. Nursing home expenses are covered by Medicare. 5. People have to spend all or almost all of their assets to receive Medicaid benefits. 6. On average, a one-year stay in a nursing home costs about $25,000. Medicare provides reimbursement for skilled care but pays nothing for custodial care. You can’t OWN anything and be eligible for Medicaid. Depending on where you live the average costs for nursing home care will be between $50,000 and $80,000 per year.

Longevity – A two-edged sword!! Life expectancy for women = 86 Life expectancy for men = 82 Living longer makes it more likely that you or your spouse will, at some point, need services that could be paid for by long term care insurance. Most Utahans live another 2.5 years beyond the national average.

What Does LTC Cost? Nursing home care is expensive National average for a semi-private room $69,696 Annually* (2009 data) *Varies depending on where you live (SLC = $50,336)

What Does LTC Cost? Assisted Living is expensive National average $37,572 Annually* ( 2009 data) *Varies depending on where you live (SLC = $35,000)

What Does LTC Cost? Home health care is expensive National average $27,300 Annually* $21/hr, 5 hrs per day, 5 days a week (2009 data) *Varies depending on where you live (SLC = $31,200)

Who Pays for LTC? Nursing Home care

Premiums Just like car insurance, you pay the premiums for a lifetime, unless you choose to cancel the policy. Premiums are based on age - - so the younger you are when you sign up for coverage the less expensive the premium will be.
