Long term care insurance rates costs

Long Term Care Insurance Rates Costs

Each long-term care insurance company sets its own rates that can vary by as much as 60-to-90 percent. Each company also offers different discounts and ways you can significantly reduce the cost.

Some insurance agents only represent one insurance company (they are agents of that particular company, such as New York Life or Northwestern Mutual). Insurance brokers typically have access to long-term care insurance offerings from multiple companies. Because rates can vary so significantly, it can be advisable to make sure that your or your agent have compared rates from multiple insurers. That will help you get the best rate (or cost) for the best available coverage.
