Product highlights

No limit on who can provide care

The LTCSR contract includes specific language so that, once a care plan is in place, the insured can receive care from the person they are most comfortable with, including a family member, friend, or medical professional.

Built for any policy design

When paired with certain Equitable single life insurance policies, the LTC pool will always match the policy's death benefit if the client chooses, regardless of the complexity of the case design. No matter what the policy's objectives or performance, the LTC benefit is easily defined and anchored to the death benefit, even after the policy enters corridor or after policy actions such as withdrawals or death benefit option changes.

Spend less time waiting for benefits

If the client needs long term care for the rest of their life, we waive the elimination period. If they need long term care temporarily, we'll send payment for qualifying expenses after just 90 calendar days, so they'll get the money they need sooner.

Choose the monthly benefit percentage they'll receive

The percentage your clients choose determines their monthly benefit amount. They can choose: 1%, 2% or 3%.
