Does my Long Term Care Insurance (LTC) provide sufficient coverage?
Be sure to ask if home care services have a deductible, or if you have a maximum
out-of-pocket expense on your LTC insurance policy. Also, be sure to ask if
there is an annual or lifetime limit to the amount they will pay. When inquiring
as to what home care services will be paid for LTC insurance, be sure to specify
the exact nature of the services being requested. Generally, LTC policies
carry a “Custodial Care” benefit component.
Amada can help you better understand your LTC insurance policy, or that of a loved
one. If you'd like us to research a policy to see if home care services are
included, please don't hesitate to ask. We prefer to have our clients pay for home
care services directly and get reimbursed by their LTC insurance provider.
Amada will be happy to assist in preparing claim forms and/or generating care notes
and reports required by your LTC insurance provider. Our web based Heart
to Heart ™ program allows you to print activity reports and invoices to facilitate
quick reimbursement from LTC Insurance providers.
