You May Be Eligible To Initiate the Claim Process If:<\/span><\/h3>\n

  • If the person receiving care has a cognitive impairment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Questions to Think About Before Initiating a Claim:<\/span><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • What is my elimination period*? Is it calendar days or service days? Is there a minimum amount of hours a day in order for it to count as a day of care?<\/span><\/li>\n
    • How many ADL\u2019s do I require help with before I qualify?<\/span><\/li>\n
    • What is my daily, weekly, or monthly maximum? What is my total policy allowance?<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Do I have to continue paying premiums once I activate my policy?<\/span><\/li>\n
    • If I stop needing care or am hospitalized, does the elimination period start over?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
