Long Term Care Insurance Is a Long-Term Commitment
While the long term care (LTC) insurance market offers profitable new opportunities, it also presents a unique set of challenges. With product innovation, medical advances, and an aging population, finding quality data and information to price and manage various LTC components is difficult, even for established writers. Both new and existing writers of LTC insurance products face a number of risks including pricing, underwriting, and benefit adjudication, as well as a changing regulatory and social climate. Adding LTC to enhance your company’s product portfolio also involves significant capital investment for initial development costs as well as stringent statutory reserving and capital requirements.
