Minnesota Partnership LTC plans are here!

The Long Term Care insurance market is more active than ever.  Protect your assets with the new Minnesota Partnership Plans.

It seems everyone is offering "Great Product Benefits" and "Superior Underwriting".  The problem is, none of these things help you make an informed choice about the products and benefits best suited for your unique needs.

One of our most requested services, whether it's auto, homeowners or long-term care insurance, is our competitive quote analysis.  Based on your input (please complete the quote request form below), we will quote up to 5 companies side-by-side that meet your criteria.

Inflation Protection

The Inflation Protection requirement for the Long Term Care Policy to qualify for the Partnership Plan is that at the time the insurance is effective:
1.  If you're under 61 then Compound Inflation is required.
2.  If you're 61 but not 76 Simple interest is required.
3.  If you're 76 and over then no inflation protection is required.

Compound Inflation Protection - this rider increases your benefit by 5% per year, compounded annually for the life of the policy.  Benefits will continue to increase even while you're on a claim.  Simple Inflation Protection - this rider increases your benefit by 5% per year, except the interest is not compounded.  Benefits will continue to increase even while you're on a claim.

Inflation Protection

Indemnity Benefit Options - Indemnity Benefit Option - This option converts all benefits from reimbursement to indemnity.  Regardless of actual charges you incur, the policy will pay the full daily benefit amount you choose.  Caregiver Indemnity Benefit Option - This option allows any Home and Community Services Benefits to be payable regardless of who provides the care, such as family member, friend or other non-professional.  This option also converts all benefits from reimbursement to indemnity.

Indemnity Benefit Option

Nonforfeiture Benefits - Full Nonforfeiture Benefit Option - This option returns all the premiums paid to your beneficiary upon your death (or the second to die with joint coverage).  For in force policies, the rider provides a death benefit equal to the total of premiums paid, regardless of any claims paid.  If the policy lapses due to non-payment of premiums, this benefit continues coverage until the total of benefits paid equals the total of premiums paid.  Upon death, any premiums remaining not already paid in benefits, will be paid to your beneficiary.  Shortened Benefit Period Nonforfeiture Benefit Option - This option provides extended benefits if your policy lapses after three years.  Your benefit is equal to the total premiums paid, but is never less than 30 times your daily benefit amount at the time your policy lapses.

Nonforfeiture Benefits
