Long-Term Care Insurance and Meningioma

There are four main types of long-term care coverage: traditional long-term care insurance, long-term care partnership programs, life insurance with long-term care riders, and annuities with long-term care riders. The best type of policy for people with meningioma is usually a traditional long-term care policy or a long-term care partnership program. However, everyone’s situation is unique.

Every long-term care insurance company is different. Some long-term care insurers may charge applicants 10% more for meningioma. Other insurers may charge applicants 50% more for meningioma. That’s why it’s important to work with an long-term care insurance professional who can help you shop around and compare several different policies. 

Yes, you can qualify for long-term care insurance if you have a family history of meningioma. Most long-term care insurance companies are not concerned when there’s a family history of meningioma.

We always advise our clients to apply for long-term care insurance before they get genetic testing. If you have a genetic test that shows you could develop meningioma, you will probably still be able to qualify for long-term care insurance.

Some long-term care insurers do not require a physical if you have meningioma. Most long-term care insurance companies will review your medical records in order to determine if they can insure you. Ask your long-term care insurance specialist what underwriting criteria each company will use before deciding which long-term care insurance policy is best for you.

Long-term care insurance specialists have less than 20% of their applicants declined. Insurance “generalists” have about 50% of their long-term care insurance applications declined. With over 25 years of experience, we can pinpoint exactly which company (and which type of policy) you’ll be able to qualify for. We have about an 80% success rate in helping our clients get approved even if they were previously declined.
