Alicia's insurance agent told her she was too short for her weight and no LTC insurance can be offered to her. Turns out that agent only represented one company. Other companies will consider her build (height/weight). Many people are either very small or very big. There are alternative solutions to planning for future care needs that can help those outside of the weight limits of most companies. Some companies don't ask about build or health at all, while some have more lenient health requirements than others. If you've been told you can't qualify for LTC insurance, it is wise to ask for a second opinion. Reach out to me to ask what else can be offered to help you protect your family, assets and choices https://calendly.com/diane-p4t/30min
