Short-Term Care Insurance

Short-Term Care insurance is health-underwritten coverage that provides benefits to pay care expenses when insureds can no longer care for themselves. Health underwriting varies by carrier, but often includes an MIB and Pharmaceutical check, with the potential for other requirements at the Underwriter’s discretion. STCi offers coverage for care in settings similar to LTCi, but with-stringent underwriting and lower premiums.
