Fact vs. Fiction About Long Term Care Insurance

Two common beliefs lead people to skip coverage they might have used: that it is only for nursing homes, and that Medicare will cover it.

Why

Two common beliefs, "it is only for nursing homes" and "Medicare will cover it," lead people to skip coverage they would actually use.

The benefit

Clarity before you decide, not after you need it.

Who it's for

Anyone who has ruled out long term care coverage based on either belief.

When to consider it

Before deciding this coverage does not apply to you.

How to actually do it

Check what Medicare actually covers, which is limited and short-term skilled nursing only, against what you are assuming it covers.
