UB ALUMNI LONG TERM CARE (LTC) INSURANCE
As you consider your financial future, consider Long Term Care Insurance -- because securing coverage today is far more economical than applying in the future.

Your age when you apply will impact your premium payments for as long as you have your policy. For instance, the average annual premium for a long term care policy purchased by a person age 55 or younger was $1,831. When the same policy was purchased by someone between the ages of 70-74, the average annual premium was $3,421. Once you're covered, premiums do not increase with age or if your health deteriorates. LTC insurance can help with costs for in-home care, adult day care, or even assisted living.   

 

UB's Alumni Insurance Program offers no-obligation consultations by phone or online so you can discuss your LTC needs with an advisor-free of charge. Learn more.
 
A CELEBRATION OF ALUMNI AUTHORS
