3 Today’s Agenda Long Term Care Types of Care Who Pays For Care
Types of Plans Available Today we will be addressing: … What is long-term care? Why do people need LTC? What is the cost of care? What are the main components of LTCI. as well as any questions you may have.

4 Long Term Care: The Basics
Extended Care, often known as Long Term Care, can be needed to due an accident or Illness. Lets review some important basics

5 Why Do People Need Care? Long term care services are provided to individuals when they require ongoing… Assistance or supervision to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): Bathing, Dressing, Eating, Continence, Toileting, Transferring OR: Assistance or supervision due to severe Cognitive Impairment, such as: Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, other brain disorders Why Do People Need Care… for physical and/or cognitive reasons: The result of these impairments leave the person’s health so severely compromised that they are no longer able to care for themselves safely. There is perhaps no other unexpected serious event in life that has the potential of causing long term consequences to a family than a need for care over an extended period of years. Many times providing care for a chronically ill person makes a healthy caregiver chronically ill. In many instances person receiving the care outlives their caregiver.

6 What are the Types of LTC Services?
As you can see, if you needed care today, you can receive a great number of services in your home, if the services are available in your area and if you can afford it.

7 Who Pays for the Coverage?
Medicare Age 65+, 3 day hospital stay, skilled care Covers days %, Co-Pay $ next days Medicaid Federal/State funded, financial eligibility, 5yr lookback, estate recovery VA Benefits Priority group system - illnesses related to service come first Personal Income and Assets Long Term Care Insurance Read Slide until LTCI LTCi is a contract between you and the insurance company. You are transferring some of the risk in return of premiums paid. You can leverage today’s dollars to pay for tomorrows medical costs. If you never need the care then the premiums paid are not refundable for a traditional policy. Also LTC premiums may increase over time.

8 What is the Impact of Providing Care?
The need for extended care may significantly change the life of the family member providing the care. Factors that may impact those providing care include: Increased Stress Sibling Tension Decline in Well Being Second Marriages Possible factors that may impact the care providers and family: The need for extended care may significantly change the life of the family member providing the care. Increased stress Sibling tension Decline in well being Second marriages

9 What are the Financial Consequences?
It’s true – wealthier people may be able to cover the cost of care. However, have they considered the following? Tax Implications Market Timing Liquidity Loss of Future Income Tax implications of funding LTC out of pocket may mean using money or income from current investments, which have the potential to increase taxes and may result in a material loss Market Timing - Selling things like stocks, due to the need for cash flow at the wrong time, may result in a loss greater than expected. Liquidity - Selling property at the wrong market timing can result in material losses. Loss of Future Income Possibilities - If you’ve sold your future income possibilities, you have a future income loss as well. Paying for care out of pocket my be a viable option for those who are wealthy enough. However the impact of generating the potential additional $80K to $150,000 each year can have a the potential of causing long term consequences on wealth and prior financial commitments. Increased income may raise tax brackets, selling stock at a time when the stocks are at a low point can actualize losses, converting real estate in a hurry can result in selling at a lower price then you may have otherwise sold at, and finally the overall effect of reducing assets can result in a material loss of future income.

10 What is Long Term Care Insurance?
Pays for care provided to individuals who, because of a physical or cognitive impairment, need assistance. Custodial vs. Skilled Provides a stream of income used to pay for care Care provided to individuals who, because of a physical or cognitive impairment, need assistance with basic activities of daily living (ADLs) such as: Bathing, Continence, Toileting, Dressing, Toileting, Eating, Transferring Custodial vs. Skilled – (Nurse care) Provides a stream of income that is used to pay for care

11 What are the Main Components?
Benefit Amount $1,500 – $12,000 (monthly max.) Benefit Period (yrs.) 2 Years - Lifetime Elimination Period 0-90 days, varies by carrier Inflation Protection 1-5% Simple 3-5% Compound Life Insurance or Annuity Surrender value Other Optional Riders* Shared Coverage Joint/Spousal Waiver of Premium Waiver of Elimination Period for Home Care Survivorship Benefit Cash Alternatives Return of Premium/Surrender Value Death Benefit Most policies pay up to the monthly maximum selected, The benefit period is the number of years at the maximum monthly amount it will pay for care. For example $5, per month X 48 months (4 years) = $240,000 dollars available for care. If you do not need the maximum $5,000 per month then the pool of money will last longer. Benefits are received Tax Free and may be deductible, depending on filing status. *Policy riders are available at an additional cost and may not be available for all products. Terms and conditions apply.

12 Traditional LTC Policy
Maximum leverage per dollar (lowest premium for comparable coverage) Can be funded with HSA dollars Premiums potentially tax deductible Monthly/daily benefit with specified benefit duration Inflation protection options with a variety of optional riders Services - home healthcare, assisted living, nursing home care, adult day care, hospice Highly Customizable: Flexible Design (You Choose) Highly customizable – flexible design You choose: Monthly/daily benefit – ex. - $150/day or $5,000/month Elimination period (deductible) – ex. 90 days, 180 days Benefit length – ex. 2 to 6 years Inflation protection – ex. 5% compound, 3% compound, no inflation Shared Care Rider – joint pool of month that can be used by either spouse Premiums can be paid annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly Covers a variety of services, such as home healthcare, assisted living, nursing home care, adult day care, hospice

13 Hybrid LTC Policy (Asset-Based Investment)
LTC policy + Death Benefit Premiums payment method (1,3,5,7,10, Annual) Potential tax-advantaged LTC benefits Tax-free death benefit Surrender value Inflation options available Services - home healthcare, assisted living, nursing home care, adult day care, hospice Reallocation of assets Combined Linked Benefits: (Live, Die, Quit Solution) Combined (linked benefits) Solution – use it, die with it or walk away Combination LTC policy with a death benefit Premiums can be funded with a lump sum or 3, 5, 7, 10yrs or even lifetime annual pay Provides potential tax-advantaged long term care benefits and more leverage for your clients’ (or your) LTC dollars Offers a tax-free death benefit if all or some of the LTC benefits are not used Enhanced surrender value endorsement – guarantees at least your clients’ (or your) original premium amount, should they (or you) want to walk away from the contract Inflation options available Covers a variety of services, such as home healthcare, assisted living, nursing home care, adult day care, hospice Reallocation of assets

14 Hybrid (“Linked Benefits”) LTC Policies
This is a example of reallocation of assets. Linked benefits are often funded in a single pay funding using a portion of assets the client intends to use for the potential LTC emergency. However by reallocating the asset into a linked benefit policy you can increase and leverage greater amounts of LTC monies available.

15 Hybrid (“Linked Benefits”) Case Study
Client Profile: Female, Age 60 Current Liquidity: $750,000 Additional income $100K CD coming due Financial plan shows she has enough to retire and live comfortably Children all reside in different locations In the sample client, the female client repositions a CD to fund the LTC Hybrid policy providing an immediate increase from $100,000 to $375, And if she lives to age 88 and needs care (her CD would be around $228K), however with the Hybrid LTC policy she will have over $850,000 available! Potential Solution: Reposition her current asset in the CD and use the funds to pay for a hybrid LTC product. By doing this, she will significantly increase her LTC benefit, helping protect herself from LTC costs. If she never needs care, she will have a tax-free death benefit to pass onto her heirs. Case studies are offered to show how Crump Life Insurance Services can provide valuable assistance to financial advisors seeking insurance solutions for their clients. Results may vary. This is a hypothetical example and does not guarantee a similar results.

17 What Does Your LTC Plan Look Like?

Services can be provided by family members, friends or HHC Agencies… the medical & custodial services come to your home. Adult day care facilities give the caregiver’s respite and time to shop, run errands and just have some time to themselves. ADC offers social stimulation and a safe environment to support their home care. Assisted Living Facilities are an apartment like setting with a common areas for meals. The level of care one receives is dependent on their needs. Skilled Nursing Facilities are necessary when a person requires ongoing care and/or supervision requiring ongoing treatment. Then finally Continuing Care Communities offer independent living, HHC, assisted living and skilled care. It’s an idea that has evolved and become quite popular among retirees.
