Hybrid Long-Term Care Insurance Products

Overview

Long-term care (LTC) costs are rising significantly each year, but sales of stand-alone LTC insurance remain weak. Changes in tax laws have made LTC benefits under annuity and life insurance policies more attractive. This course covers hybrid insurance products, which offer “linked” benefits for LTC services. It highlights the need for retirement and senior market producers to understand LTC funding options, with hybrid products as potential alternatives to traditional LTC insurance.
