Realities of Using the LTCI Policy for Facility Based-CareCarole Wright
Increase in the Senior Population • Requests for ALF and SNF claims are going to increase • Longer life spans, improved medical care and emergence of the Baby Boomer generation • Facility claims currently account for 80 % of all LTC claims Corliss, Gary L. April 2005. Fourth Intercompany LTC Report Published Society of Actuaries Long Term Care News, no. 14.
Challenges • What are the current challenges facing LTC claims departments? • Product language interpretation • Policy benefit utilization • Long-term duration of the claim • Requests for alternative plan of care considerations
Realities of the Future • In order to address future needs we need to align the expectations of the policyholder, marketplace and the insurance company with regard to facility-based care. • This can be accomplished through looking at: • Market research information • Trade association trends • LTC product design and development
