Long Term Care Insurance
Long term care insurance is used to pay for day-to-day assisted living expenses like eating and dressing, health monitoring, residency in an assisted living facility or nursing home, and other types of care.
Nearly 40% of people age 65 will spend some time in a nursing home. It is typical for private nursing home costs to exceed $65,000 – $90,000 per year! And it is important to understand that Medicare does not cover long-term care expenses, nor do Medicare Supplement policies.
If you have an HSA, long-term care insurance premiums may be paid (with pre-tax dollars) from your Health Savings Account up to the following limits:
| Age | Amount That Can Be Paid From HSA |
|---|---|
| 40 or less | $450 |
| More than 40 but not more than 50 | $850 |
| More than 50 but not more than 60 | $1,690 |
| More than 60 but not more than 70 | $4,510 |
| More than 70 | $5,640 |
