Also be aware that “chronic illness” riders are different from those for LTC.

“It’s contingent upon your condition being permanent,” Fibiger said. “Long-term care riders are less restrictive.”

Not all advisors are sold on these hybrid policies.

The issue is whether the advisor/client uses the right hybrid model and obtains the proper amount of LTC benefit within the model.

Many hybrid life insurance policies with ADB LTC or chronic illness riders provide zero inflation protection and these hybrid policy types certainly will not work well for LTC planning. Consumers and advisors are wasting their time with these.

The linked benefit hybrid LTC policies with inflation protection (OneAmerica Asset Care, Lincoln Moneyguard, Securian SecureCare, Nationwide CareMatters, Pacific Life PremierCare) can work as well as traditional LTC policies.
