There are many strategies to filing a successful Long-Term Care Insurance claim.
I chatted with Dwight Smith, the owner of AMADA Senior Care Columbus & Toledo, about the LTC insurance claims process.
In this episode we covered:
๐น Importance of understanding the policy coverage
๐น Exploring additional benefits included (e.g., medical equipment, home modifications)
๐น Understanding different activation protocols for different insurance companies
๐น Activities of daily living (ADLs) and cognitive impairments as qualifying criteria
๐น Need for care for more than 90 days and fulfilling the elimination period
๐น Making sure benefits are properly utilized and extended if necessary
๐น Doctors documenting the client's needs clearly and specifically
๐น Encouraging open and honest conversations with physicians
๐น The process of submitting a claim
๐น Receiving benefits once the elimination period is met
