Avoid the Cost of Waiting

Getting the best rate on long term care insurance requires good timing and thoughtful planning. A change in age or health can result in permanently higher premiums.

1. The age at which you purchase is critical - Although premiums are designed to remain level for the rest of your life, they are based on your age when you apply. Waiting until after your next birthday can result in permanently higher rates.
   
2. Maximizing your "good health" is key - Waiting to buy reduces the odds you'll qualify for preferred rates. At age 49, 62% of applicants qualify for good health rates, but this number falls to 38% by age 60.
