Long-Term Care Claims

Long-Term Care Insurance Policies

Long-term care (LTC) is costly.  Whether you hire a home health aide or choose to enter an assisted living facility or nursing home, long-term care costs can add up to tens of thousands of dollars every year.  Unfortunately, Medicare generally does not cover long-term care (also called custodial care) expenses except under very limited conditions. To help cover the potential costs associated with long-term care, many people have opted to purchase long-term care insurance plans.  These policies offer different levels of benefits to help you pay for long-term care should you need it.

I can’t thank David and Jennifer enough for going the extra mile to get Guardian to pay my claim, regardless of the fact that my type of claim, although very legitimate, was difficult to gain coverage. They are my heroes for not giving up. I’m very thankful for both of them and their staff.

Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, insurance companies began to recognize just how fearful people had become that they would burn through their savings and run out of money trying to cover the costs associated with long-term care. These companies sold billions of dollars in long-term care policies to people who were trying to plan ahead and find a means to pay for the coverage they might need in the future.  

Problems arose, however, when the block of long-term care insurance began to mature.  Policyholders started seeking benefits and many insurance companies found themselves struggling to pay claims because they had underestimated the costs associated with long-term care.  The results have been devastating for many policyholders – insurance companies have been increasingly denying and delaying coverage to people who need long-term care and have faithfully paid their premiums year after year. 

Chicago Insurance Lawyer Helping Clients Get Long-Term Care Coverage

The attorneys at Bryant Legal Group PC understand the tremendous challenges policyholders face as they try get the LTC coverage they have paid for.  Our lawyers have decades of collective experience battling powerful insurance companies that refuse to provide policyholders with the benefits they are entitled to.  The founding partner of our firm, David Bryant, is a seasoned Chicago insurance lawyer who carefully monitors the activities and financial conditions of insurance companies across the nation.  He knows far too well how serious financial pressures have led many insurance carriers to wrongfully deny LTC claims.  In every case that he handles, his objective is to help his clients find the best path to collect the long-term care benefits they need and deserve.

Coverage under a long-term care policy is generally triggered when a policyholder is unable to perform “activities of daily living” – eating, bathing, walking and other activities that people do as an everyday part of life.  When a policyholder submits a claim for long-term care coverage, the insurance carrier will typically hire a physician to review the policyholder’s medical records to determine restrictions on his or her activities of daily living (ADL).  Our attorneys know how these evaluations are conducted and will work with you to make sure your health care team provides the medical records and documents needed to clearly demonstrate that your ADL deficiencies meet the eligibility requirements under your LTC policy.
