Long-Term Care Insurance Claims
Long-Term Care Insurance has always been sold by agents to help you pay for care when, later in life, you are unable to take care of yourself. Insureds trusted the policies would cover the costs of assisted living care, skilled nursing facilities, and in-home care among other coverages. But rising care costs and increased longevity have resulted in mounting losses for the carriers who issued the policies. Industry watchers report some carriers are increasingly denying claims in order to stem the underwriting losses.
Some of the coverage denials may in fact be bad faith denials by the carriers. If you live in Marin County or elsewhere in California and believe your long- term care claim has been denied in bad faith, call Evans Law Firm, Inc. today at 415-441-8669 for a free review of your policy and possible bad faith claim denials. We handle cases in California only.
There are few easy answers when it comes to old age and end of life care, but seniors should at the very least be able to count on their costly long-term care insurance to help pay for the cost of a nursing home, assisted living facility or in-home care. Being able to afford required care can make all the difference in the world for the security and comfort of a senior in their remaining years.
