Sales Week: Have Clients with Trouble Getting LTC Underwriting Approval?
GUARANTEED LTC UNDERWRITING APPROVAL WITH BRIDGE BY EQUITRUST
Help clients beat the stats
If you’re like most agents, you have clients who have been declined underwriting for
long-term care (LTC) insurance due to health issues.
It’s Long-Term Care Awareness Month, the perfect time to talk to clients about planning for their LTC needs.
In fact:
Less than half (42%) of applicants age 60-69 qualify for traditional coverage.1
That number decreases with age — only 24% of applicants age 70-79 qualify.1
Bridge can help you fill the coverage gap for your clients. It combines an index-linked annuity and LTC benefits, plus a personalized wellness program.
100% guaranteed issue
With Bridge, underwriting for LTC coverage is quick and digital, and no one will be declined. There are three underwriting classes: Secure, Standard and Preferred. Your client can opt out of underwriting and accept Secure class, or boost their LTC benefit amount if they qualify for Standard or Preferred class. And no medical or prescription records are required. The annuity must pass suitability review.
Use this agent-use-only case study to see how Bridge can work for clients who may be or have been declined for other LTC coverage and/or are currently planning to self-insure.
