There are many strategies to filing a successful Long-Term Care Insurance claim.

I chatted with Dwight Smith, the owner of AMADA Senior Care Columbus & Toledo, about the LTC insurance claims process.

In this episode we covered:

🔹 Importance of understanding the policy coverage

🔹 Exploring additional benefits included (e.g., medical equipment, home modifications)

🔹 Understanding different activation protocols for different insurance companies

🔹 Activities of daily living (ADLs) and cognitive impairments as qualifying criteria

🔹 Need for care for more than 90 days and fulfilling the elimination period

🔹 Making sure benefits are properly utilized and extended if necessary

🔹 Doctors documenting the client's needs clearly and specifically

🔹 Encouraging open and honest conversations with physicians

🔹 The process of submitting a claim

🔹 Receiving benefits once the elimination period is met
