It is painful to see that all you’ve worked for all those years are just used in paying for you long term care, and other important things like college funds for your children or grandchildren will get compromised.

  • As the name suggests, this policy will reimburse the amount that has been used in your long term care but must not exceed the amount that is allotted on your daily, weekly or monthly benefit limit.

This policy has a written agreement wherein if the long term care does not consume the limit of the benefit, the remaining funds can be used in the following years to come.
