"We are specialists who help people nail down whether LTC insurance makes sense in their particular case,” says Gott. “If it does make sense, we advise them on their policy options and set them up with a top-rated carrier."
And if it doesn’t make sense? "No problem," says Gott. "Then we guide them to alternative means of protection." These include:
- "Hybrid" policies (typically life insurance with LTC riders),
- Worksite LTC (voluntary plans with group advantages),
- Annuities with tax-advantaged LTC features,
- Critical illness insurance,
- And additional protections including LTC education and referrals to care services.
