Filing a long-term insurance claim can be tough at the best of times, but during the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s even more challenging.
You probably already know this, but filing long-term care insurance claims is a hassle.
Getting your LTC insurance claim settled entails lots of phone calls, long hold times, inconsistent terminology, confusion over elimination periods—and that’s just when the rest of the healthcare industry is having a normal day.
During a pandemic? Families are seeing even bigger obstacles to getting their long-term care claims approved and their insurance benefits paid out—and at a time when ensuring that their loved ones are cared for has never felt more important.
Getting the best care in the midst of a pandemic.
We know that your first priority is always your parent or senior family member’s care. Whether they’re living in an LTC community or receiving home care services, making sure they receive the care they deserve is a responsibility you don’t take lightly.
But making sure they get the support and attention they need is important not just for their well-being but for yours: The stress of looking after a loved one, even if you’re not providing the day-to-day care, can be a lot to handle. This is true at the best of times, but now it’s likely that your work schedule, school and family routines, and daily life has been turned upside down by the global health crisis that is COVID-19.
Patience is a virtue at the best of times, but a necessity when dealing with insurance companies during COVID-19.
It’s not just that your insurance carrier may be seeing an increase in the claims being filed while the country grapples with COVID-19. In addition to that, they are likely also dealing with staff shortages, closed call centers, and decreased resources to handle the volume of calls and claims.
Once you’ve finally gotten in touch with someone, you may find that they’re asking for additional information, service details, or other paperwork you didn’t even know you needed. Maybe you’re not even talking to the right department. Or, you may find that you misinterpreted the language in your policy; there are, after all, more than 400,000 variations of long-term claim insurance policies out there.
