Will I pay more for long-term care insurance if I have carpal tunnel syndrome?
Probably not. Every long-term care insurance company is different. Some long-term care insurers may charge applicants up to 20% more for someone with carpal tunnel syndrome. Other insurers don’t. That’s why it’s important to work with an independent long-term care insurance professional who can help you shop around and compare several different policies.
If I have carpal tunnel syndrome will I have to take a physical in order to qualify for long-term care insurance?
Most long-term care insurers do not require a physical if you have carpal tunnel syndrome.

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 and your carpal tunnel syndrome.
