The Numbers Behind a Standalone LTC Policy
Three inputs drive almost every standalone LTC quote: your daily/monthly benefit amount, your benefit period, and your elimination period.
| Input | What It Means | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Daily/Monthly Benefit | The maximum the policy pays per day or month | Should reflect real regional care costs, not a generic number |
| Benefit Period | How many years the policy will pay out | Average care need is 3 years, but many need longer |
| Elimination Period | The waiting period before benefits begin | Longer elimination periods lower premiums but require more out-of-pocket bridge funds |
Most standalone LTC claims are triggered by an inability to perform two or more "Activities of Daily Living" (ADLs) — bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, transferring, and continence — or a diagnosis of cognitive impairment.
