Bob,
Thanks for speaking with me. Your revised long-term care insurance quotes are ready.
🔁 Revised quotes
Each of these quotes use an approximate $5,000/month initial benefit to allow for an apples-to-apples comparison. You'll notice multiple payment schedules which can also be paid monthly (instead of annually). See notes below.
🧐 My notes
Based on our discussions, I’ve included two different types of policies to give you a sense of the range of options available.
Option B: NGL
Your least expensive option. It does not include a refund feature and only guarantees the premium rate for the first five years (fairly safe). Payments are made as reimbursement (no informal caregivers).
Option C: Nationwide
Pays benefits in cash and provides coverage for the same period of time (6 years). Premiums cannot increase and benefits can be used for informal caregivers..
The average cost for assisted living is roughly $6k/month. Your options provide lower annual benefits ($5k/month), but you can bridge the gap using personal savings and Social Security. The goal for most people is meaningful coverage, not paying every dollar.
If you'd like to adjust your annual benefits, you can adjust your premium—your benefits will change proportionally (e.g., by 25%).
👉🏻 Next steps
Either schedule time on my calendar to discuss your options..
Thanks,
Jesse
