AssuraPlans Launches Website With Long-Term Care Insurance Solutions
(PRWEB) - AssuraPlans, LLC's inaugural website offers consumers a one-stop source for information and advice on long-term care insurance (LTCI), with easy-to-understand insurance options, affordable solutions and personalized support.
With its entry into the online long term care insurance marketplace, the health and life insurance agency is revolutionizing long-term care insurance distribution by applying innovative sales and policy placement strategies. Through call-center sales, electronic underwriting and submission, industry expertise and strict regulatory compliance, AssuraPlans will make long-term care insurance an accessible option for Americans.
Long-term care is required when a person suffers a prolonged physical illness, disability or cognitive impairment (such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's Diseases), which prevents them from living independently and carrying out basic self-care tasks called Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, eating, etc.
AssuraPlans is licensed in most states and has partnered with highly rated insurance companies to offer personalized solutions through convenient telephone consultations. In addition to LTCI, its portfolio of products also includes health, life, accident, disability and critical illness insurance.
The recently launched website outlines the reasons why a growing number of Americans are seeking long-term care insurance and explains the benefits of applying for long-term coverage. The escalating costs of long-term health care and how to pay for personal care services is a growing concern among aging baby boomers. A 2011 study indicates that the median costs for full-time long-term care across the U.S. ranges from $39,135 to $77,745 per year, depending on the type of care required. (source: genworth.com).
The increasing demand for LTCI reflects the 50+ age group's desire to protect their hard-earned assets (home, savings, investments, etc.) in the event of a long-term inability to care for themselves. Although anyone over age 18 may apply for coverage, most applicants are between age 45 and 74, which represents nearly 73 million individuals in the U.S., according to 2010 Census data.
AssuraPlans' website provides compelling statistics showing that the number of people using paid long-term care services in any setting (i.e.: home, assisted-living residences, nursing homes, etc.) will likely double from 13 million in 2000 to 27 million by 2050 (source: U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services). According to the American Association of Long-term Care Insurance (AALTCI), 44% of men and 72% of women over age 65 will need long-term healthcare.
AssuraPlans' mission is to provide assurance to you and your family as you plan for the future.
