Underwriting Beyond the Diagnosis: Breast Cancer & Long-Term Care
About This Webinar

Long-term care insurance can be an excellent pre-planning option for clients, but many advisors have questions about whether a client is a good fit from an underwriting perspective, especially when they have a history of serious illness.

In this webinar, Carolyn Vader will take an in-depth look at how breast cancer can impact LTCI underwriting, one of the most common diagnoses encountered in the LTCI process.

Carolyn will cover:

  • The different types of breast cancer and how each may impact the underwriting process
  • The importance of pathology reports and the terminology underwriters look for
  • Potentially favorable factors in a client’s diagnosis, as well as red flags that may raise concerns for an insurance company
  • Key questions advisors should ask when evaluating a client’s potential insurability

Carolyn will bring these concepts to life through real-world case studies, exploring a variety of breast cancer diagnoses and how they can affect underwriting outcomes. She’ll also discuss when traditional LTCI or hybrid LTCI may be the more appropriate fit.

If you work with clients considering LTCI, this in-depth webinar will give you practical insight into navigating underwriting when breast cancer is part of the picture. Reserve your spot today!
