Long Term Care Insurance Calculator Premium Savings Tips

Save Money with Longer Elimination Periods

The elimination period is your policy’s deductible.  The longer the elimination period, the lower the premium will be.  Keep your premiums down by choosing a longer elimination period.  The most economical deductible and the best balance between too long and too short is the 90-day elimination period.

Spousal and Partner Discounts Long Term Care Insurance Policies

Every insurance company offers a discount for a husband and wife applying for coverage at the same time.  There are also partner discounts for gay and lesbian couples as well.  Learn more about Spousal discounts.

Make Smart Inflation Protection Decisions

A disturbing industry trend is towards pushing a CPI or no inflation protection option as a way to save money.  If you are considering reducing coverage, look at other features to reduce the benefits.  The 5% automatic inflation protection will grow your benefit at a substantially higher pace over time.  A 55 year old will have about 100% more benefits in 30 years by getting the 5% Compound Inflation Protection rider vs. the 3% Compound rider.

Suppose the cost of Long Term Care is $170 a day in your area, yet you can only purchase a policy that covers $120 per day.  While the policy that covers 100% of the cost is the best, a policy that covers $120 per day would certainly be better than no policy at all.  In fact, $120 per day would still cover the majority of cost.
