Short Term Care

As you know, we are big believers in long term care insurance. You also recognize the importance of having a plan for long term care and have been discussing it with your clients. We appreciate your faith in us in providing you quotes. Long term care insurance is not an easy product to obtain and I fear it will remain difficult in the future. Thanks to COVID, some carriers are increasing the cost to obtain new coverage, underwriting has gotten tighter and perhaps you’ve had some clients declined or receive offers not as good as we hoped.

Because of this, we are now offering short term care insurance.
