• Past Sins, Weak Economy Extend Long-Term Care Writers' Struggle

AM Best continues to have a pessimistic view of the individual long-term care (LTC) market segment. Over the past several years, it has downgraded and assigned negative outlooks to many smaller companies selling LTC products; and its outlook on these small to midsize companies remains negative. Although no insurer has been reporting consistently healthy statutory profits on its LTC block, small to midsize or monoline LTC writers are expected to continue to be challenged to maintain the necessary surplus levels for this capital-intensive product. While new product pricing has become more conservative, state regulators have been slow to approve rate increases at requested levels on older blocks. The inability to gain needed rate increases on a timely basis has had a negative financial imp...

• Insurance a Key Option for Paying for Long-Term Care

Long-term care includes a broad range of medical and support services for people with a degenerative condition (such as Parkinson's or stroke), a prolonged illness (such as cancer) or a cognitive disorder (such as Alzheimer's). It involves providing assistance with the activities of daily living and supervision if needed. The cost of care in a facility depends on the level of care needed, what services are provided, and one's geographic location. The average daily cost is $200.

• Long-Term Care Threatens Medicaid

With baby boomers turning 65 at the rate of 8,000 a day this year, and with only a tiny fraction covered by long-term care insurance, New York faces a fiscal time bomb. While Medicare pays for ongoing health care for much of America's aging population, it covers at most three months of long-term care in nursing homes and other facilities, where the annual tab can run more than $100,000 a year. Instead, the cost falls to Medicaid, administered by the states and the federal government, which are already under "significant pressure," according to Michael Birnbaum, director of policy for the Medicaid Institute at the United Hospital Fund.
