Consider the benefits* of a Short-Term Care Policy from Bankers Fidelity Life…Covers all Levels of Care
Your Short-Term Care policy provides coverage for any level of care including custodial care.
No Prior Hospitalization Required You may enter the nursing facility directly from your home; there is no pre-hospitalization requirement.
Flexible Benefits Tailored to Your Needs and Budget Select from daily benefits of $20* to $300. Choose from benefit periods of 180 days or 360 days, with a 20**-day elimination period applied to either option.
Full Restoration of BenefitsFollowing confinement in a nursing home, and after you have been con-finement-free for six consecutive months, 100% of any benefits paid are restored*. Your lifetime maximum benefit is two times the benefit period selected. Example: the 360 day benefit period provides a maximum life-time benefit of 720 days.
Full Benefits Paid for Alzheimer’s DiseaseCognitive impairments, including Alzheimer’s Disease, senile dementia and Parkinson’s Disease, are covered the same as any other illness.
Broad Definition of CoverageShort-Term Care benefits are paid when you are unable to perform any two of five Activities of Daily Living (ADLs):
and your nursing home stay is medically necessary as determined by your physician.
Guaranteed Renewable for LifeYour policy can never be cancelled by the Company as long as your premiums* are paid on time, either in advance or during the grace period.
*Benefits are subject to limitations and exclusions. Premiums subject to change. Refer to Outline of Cover-age for complete details.
If you understand the need for long-term care insurance but find the premiums too expensive, a Short-Term Care Policy© (form B 9305) from Bankers Fidelity Life™ may be for you. By providing up to 360 days of nursing home benefits per confinement, Short-Term Care will cover the majority of all nursing home stays at a price that is much more afford-able than long-term care insurance.
In addition, Short-Term Care coverage helps provide a degree of protection from the depletion of your assets should you require a brief stay in a nursing facility. And a Short-Term Care Policy allows you time to make critical financial arrangements if long-term nursing home care becomes necessary.
