| The Value of Being Complementary - Barry Eagle and Steve Rowley |
9:30am-10:30am |
With the target age for LTC declining, our insureds are not as worried about becoming marginally frail but are concerned about becoming severely impaired by a catastrophic illness. By combining LTC and Critical Illness, we can offer protection that can be cost effective for consumers, overcome sales objections, can differentiate a Carrier and increase its revenue, and improve experience. Learn how this concept affects underwriting and claims, and how it can be beneficial for consumers, distribution, and Carriers.
