If I Have Long Term Care Insurance, Do I Need To Worry About Losing My Life Savings To Medicaid?
Possibly. Unless you have unlimited coverage, there is a risk that your policy coverage could run out while you are in a Nursing Home. Many people have excellent policies that may cover a substantial portion of nursing home costs, but we have seen many clients with policies that will only cover a small part of the costs. It is important to review the actual terms of the policy and explore other options that may be available.
