It's essential that you get several issues clear when you shop for long term care insurance. Any low price that does not give you a mixture of both great service and proper coverage, isn't really a good offer.
Here are several things to be sure are right before you pay for a policy.
1. Be sure the insurer you finally choose is licensed to provide long term care insurance in your state. After confirming how legitimate they are also check their reputation.
Organizations such as BBB, Standard & Poor's Insurance Rating Services and others are really useful in helping you find out if an insurer is worthy of your business.
2. Make calls to your trusted friends and know what they think of their insurer. What was the quality of service they used previously and what quality of service do they get from their present agents or insurers?
You can ask to be referred to their agent if you're pleased with their testimonials. I must stress, though, that you should avoid going with just one friend's suggestion. They might not have shopped well themselves.
The fact is that you will shop better if you shortlist and compare up to three agents. Obtain and compare quotes from as many short-listed agents as possible.
Have in-depth discussions with each of them and find out who will serve you best. Inasmuch as this process is quite effective, it will take a lot of time to complete.
3. Get and compare quotes from reputable quotes sites. You'll save much if you do this right. Visiting just one of such sites could result in massive savings.
But that said, you'll do better comparison shopping if you get and compare quotes from at least five such sites. This will simply give you more options to pick from. This will increase you chances of saving even much more.
4. Don't let yourself become carried away by the lowest quote as you shop for low cost long term care insurance. You need to focus on getting a low quote that also offers the right value.
And, doing extensive shopping is crucial to getting the best price/value. But in cases where you don't see the right value at the lowest rate, you'll be taking the right step if you pay more to be certain you truly get the quality of long term care insurance coverage that you really need.
Bear this in mind because some quotes are that low because they might NOT have much value to offer you. A long term care insurance package that compromises you isn't a good deal even if it's 500% cheaper.
