The costs of long-term care insurance can vary widely, depending on several key factors. We explore some of these below: Remember that these are only averages based on a pool of data from leading insurance carriers.
Health: Some medical conditions will disqualify you from even being able to purchase a policy, including muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and dementia. That’s because insurers will likely lose money on those policies. Generally, the healthier you are, the less likely you’ll ever need to file a claim, so the lower your premium.
Age: In general, you’ll pay more in long-term care insurance if you take out a policy when you’re older since you’re probably less healthy and closer to needing the assistance the policy covers. This is why American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance recommends you begin shopping for long-term care insurance between the ages of 52 of 64.
Marital status: When combined, premiums tend to be lower for married couples than for individuals paying for a personal policy.
Gender: Because women tend to live longer than men and make claims more frequently than their male counterparts, women tend to pay more for insurance premiums. The American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance study showed that a single female pays an annual premium of $3,700 on average while a single man that age paid $2,220.
Carrier policies: Each insurance carrier sets rates and underwriting standards. You should gather quotes from different carriers. You can also work with an experienced long-term care insurance agent to gather these and help you understand the differences between insurance policies. They can also help you determine the coverage you need so you don’t over-insure.
