and your care needs?

Who pays for long term care expenses?

Health Insurance? No

“…the major medical health insurance you may have at work usually will not pay for long-term care.”5

Medicare? No

“You should not rely on Medicare to pay for your long-term care needs.”5

Medicaid? No

“Many people start paying for nursing home care out of their own funds and ‘spend down’ their financial resources until they are eligible for Medicaid. Medicaid may then pay part or all of their nursing home costs. You may have to spend down or use up most of your assets on your health care before Medicaid is able to help.”5

Is your plan to rely on your other Benefits?

• Health Insurance: pays for some short-term skilled care, but doesn’t pay for custodial care/long term care.

• Disability Insurance: replaces a portion of the disabled person’s income, which is needed to pay expenses (mortgage, utilities, food).
