Ep #186: The New Way to LTC Success - with Jesse Slome
Published 8 years, 4 months ago
Description
Jesse Slome is Executive Director at the American Association for Long Term Care Insurance. We asked him whether LTC was dead or alive and his answer may surprise listeners. We explore what happened to the first wave of LTC carriers and talk a bit about the recent divestiture and acquisition some major carriers have made.
Are so-called combination products, which provide both life and LTC insurance the wave of the future or are pure-play LTC products still available and appropriate for clients? Jesse talks about how to position these new plans and how to deal with underwriting. Finally, we discuss different practice models to see which might be the best fit.
