How To Help Clients Through The LTCi Claims Process
What happens when the family care giver can no longer be of assistance? What happens when they get too burnt out or their abilities have been surpassed by the amount and type of care needed?
Here’s how it works…
Then what?
- Once the notice of claim is received by the insurance company, a claim form is then sent to the insured. The form should be returned along with a provider’s bill to document the proof of loss.
- Then the claim is evaluated to verify the insured meets eligibility requirements. Often an assessment is scheduled or the insured’s health care practitioner is contacted to verify medical records.
- Once the claim is valid, a case manager will work with the insured’s family or caregivers to determine appropriate types of care.
- After the policy’s elimination period has been satisfied, benefits will be paid to the insured or their care provider.
