We've got a husband and wife - both interested in LTC coverage, but have some medical histories. Most carriers would look at both profiles as a decline for LTC (they qualified for life insurance), but wanted to see if anyone knows of any carriers who could offer LTC coverage with their med hxs. Please let me know if you have any ideas for programs they may qualify for.
Wife's med hx:
- 43 yo (age nearest 44)
- ht/wt 5' 7" 180 pounds
- been on depression medications for about 23 years (since 1987) - used to take buspar, zoloft, and wellbutrin - was switched to zyprexa, lithium, and prozac about 3 years ago. The DSM code for the condition on her medical reports is 296.36. Also takes Elestrin (HRT medication - taking for about 2 1/4 years) and Zantac (acid indigestion - over the counter medication). Family history is good.
Husband's med hx:
- 48 years old (age nearest 49)
-ht/wt 6' 1" 275 pounds
- Takes risperidone, effexor XR, divalprocxer, allopurinol, niaspan, alendronate, cabergoline, tramadol, klor-con, furosemide, colchicine, and testosterone injections. The prescriptions are for depression (diagnosed 1999), bipolar disorder (diagnosed 2002), hypercholesterolemia (diagnosed 2007), edema (diagnosed 2010), hyperprolactinemia & low testosterone (diagnosed 2004 - cause unknown), osteoporosis (diagnosed 2008), gout (diagnosed 2005), chronic back pain (diagnosed 2009 - cause unknown - received cortisone, anesthetic injections between 2010-2011). He also had bursitis both hips in 2009 and a hairline ankle fracture in 2007 (not related to the osteoporosis).
Thanks for everyone's help!
