Kim,
Good news. Your revised long-term care (LTC) insurance quotes are ready.
đ Revised quotes
Iâve provided three quotes similar to your original Plus optionâpaying $10k per year for 10 years, with 5 years of benefits and a refund. Each includes 3% annual growth to help your benefits keep pace with rising long-term care costs.
đ§ My notes
All three options are strong, with only minor differences. We can go over the details by phone if youâd like.
Option A â Nationwide CareMatters
Provides the highest minimum refund to your heirs even if you need care ($20k vs. $10k for Securian and $6k for Lincoln). Benefits start after 90 days, but youâre reimbursed for those first 90 days on day 91. Read our review.
Option B â Securian SecureCare
A simple, straightforward choice. Read our review.
Option C â Lincoln MoneyGuard
Nationwide and Securian pay benefits as cash indemnityâthe most flexible option. Lincoln pays as reimbursement, with an option to receive cash indemnity at 80% of your benefit amount. You receive benefits on day 1 instead of waiting 90 days. Read our review.
If you never need care, every policy guarantees your spouse, children, or heirs will receive a refund thatâs more than the total premiums you paid.
In Oklahoma, assisted living is projected to cost about $127,000 per year by age 80 (assuming 4% annual growth). All three options pay slightly less, but you can make up the difference with personal savings and Social Security. If youâd like higher annual benefits, you can increase your premiumâbenefits rise proportionally (e.g., a 25% premium increase yields 25% more benefits).
Personally, I think all three are solid choices, but Iâd lean toward Option C for its higher benefits.

Once you've reviewed your options, just reply to my email or text with the one that feels closestâA, B, or C and I'll email the policy documents to you (no commitment).
