14. Education: -Why is the client interested? -Objection handling/Adequate answers to their questions -Education as to planning metrics if applicable, or instruments

15. Discovery: • How do you determine if you can help the client after you have educated them? • Two step process or one step? • Are they insurable?

16. Discovery: • Underwriting: • 10 year medical history • 10 year surgical history • Medications • Underwriting differentiation

17. Discovery: • Framing the options they may have, based on what they tell you • Expectation setting • Commitment to the process if one person from a couple is uninsurable • Analogous to the Dentist’s “Full mouth x-ray and exam”

18. Credibility: • If your process is committed to paper, you can email it to the clients after your discussion. • Once you have done this, you can refer to it during your educational process. • If you have a website, you may post it there

19. If you can’t health qualify, what difference does the premium you would be willing to pay make?

20. Don’t get too caught up in the premium until underwriting is complete; keep the options open……

21. Underwriting/Expectation Setting: • Does the client present with significant or multiple medical issues? • Do you work with more than one carrier or instrument?

22. Here is where the case is won or lost

23. Underwriting/Expectation Setting: • Scenario: • Is your process committed to paper? • Tell the client what you are going to tell them • Tell them • Use your process that is committed to paper to tell them what you told them. • Refer to it during the process

24. Considerations: • What kind of client/prospect do you have? • Prior Experience with LTC? • Next Logical Step in Financial Planning? • Wealthy?

25. Considerations: • What kind of client/prospect do you have? • How do they present from an underwriting perspective? • What carriers make the most sense? • What instruments make the most sense? • Retail? • Wholesale?

35. Planning Metric Number I: Daily Benefit Amount

36. Daily Benefit Amount : Considerations: -Health of the client? -Wealth of the client? -Are you helping a single person or a couple? -Which instrument? -Which carriers?

37. Long Term Care Planning Metric Number 1: Daily Benefit Amount(DBA) • Dollar Amount from $50--$500 • Study what the following costs are for your area: • Home Health Care: (Hourly) • Nursing Home (Daily) • Assisted Living (Monthly) • Geography is critical • Where do you live now? • More importantly, where will you live? • The more daily benefit you buy, the more premium you invest

38. Daily Benefit Amount : Considerations: -Geography: -where is your client living now? -where will your client live? -do they own multiple homes? -if so, where are they most likely receive care?

39. Daily Benefit Amount : Considerations: -Geography: -what if they want to live over seas?

40. Daily Benefit Amount : Considerations: -Carrier Surveys that discuss: -Nursing Home Costs -Assisted Living Costs -Home Care Costs -Adult Day Care Costs

41. Daily Benefit Amount : Considerations: -Carrier Surveys that discuss: -Give client a copy for their records… Don’t they need to know what they could be “on the hook for” if they don’t follow through with your advice? Compliance

42. Daily Benefit Amount : Considerations: -How much of the risk does the client want to take on? -What kind of risk tolerance do they have if you manage investments? -Co-insuring the risk -getting to that amount

43. Planning Metric Number II: Benefit Period

44. Benefit Period: Considerations: -Step 1 of the 3 step process -Longevity in client/prospect family: -Parents -Grand parents -Siblings -Aunts

46. Benefit Period: Considerations: -Risk Tolerance -Co-insuring considerations -Benefit Period issues: -Finite benefit issues -Carrier trends toward benefit period

47. Planning Metric Number III: Inflation

48. Inflation: Considerations: -Step 1 of the 3 step process -Longevity in client/prospect family -Partnership Considerations -Mastering the Partnership Inflation intervals

49. Inflation: Considerations: -Main Partnership Inflation Intervals: < Age 60: Some form of C.I. 61---74: Simple or C.I. 75+: No inflation required

50. Inflation: Considerations: -Risk Tolerance -How much cost sharing are they contemplating? -Compound, Simple, CPI, GPO/FPO main considerations -Can vary by state
