Myth: “I don’t need separate LTC protection because I have health insurance.”

Fact:  LTC protection is not the same as health insurance, which is designed simply to cover the costs to cure individuals and return them to good health.

Health insurance is intended to help pay for medical care only, not LTC services, which can include bathing, eating, getting dressed and moving around. LTC services generally are required by those who are dealing with chronic illnesses, accidents or advanced aging and are progressive, with the level of needed care growing over time.
