Finding the Best Rates on Long Term Care Insurance in Oregon
Overview
Many people mistakenly believe that once they turn 65, the government will cover all their long-term health care needs. While Oregon’s Medicaid program does provide some long-term care for individuals over 65, the options for facilities and services are quite limited.
To ensure you receive the care you need, at a facility of your choice, it’s important to consider purchasing long-term care insurance in Oregon.
Why Consider Long Term Care Insurance?
Navigating the options for long-term care insurance can be overwhelming. It’s often beneficial to consult with an experienced insurance professional to make informed decisions. Every choice you make regarding your coverage can significantly impact both the cost of your insurance and the quality of care you’ll receive in the future.
Key Considerations
1. Coverage Duration:
Policies may have predetermined time limits for how long they will provide care. This could be expressed in days, weeks, months, years, or through a cap on the total amount the policy will pay for care.
2. Type of Care:
Determine whether the policy covers comprehensive, round-the-clock nursing care or only part-time care at home. The type of care covered will influence the policy cost.
3. Age and Affordability:
Insurance premiums are generally lower if you purchase a policy at a younger age. Securing a policy early can help ensure affordable monthly premiums over time.
4. Inflation Protection:
If you purchase a policy at a younger age, such as 40, consider one with an inflation adjustment. This will help ensure that your benefits keep pace with rising costs.
Conclusion
Long-term care is a reality for many. According to the Oregon Department of Insurance, nearly half of Oregon residents over 65 will require such care at some point. It’s prudent to start exploring options now to find the best rates and ensure you are well-prepared for the future.
