What LTCCP® students are saying about the course:"As an Elder Care Consultant and placement professional, I am proud to be able to add the LTCCP® designation to my area of expertise. I am confident that the in-depth knowledge that I have gained around LTC insurance policies and the claims process will greatly benefit my clients and partners in the industry. Our commitment has always been to provide education to our clients so they are confident in the decisions they make. Being able to help them make better decisions because of clarity around their benefit eligibility will provide an additional layer of peace of mind." "This course is fantastic. Especially after I hear over and over from people who are frustrated by claim denials, this course is really giving me the perspective on that problem that I was missing." "LTCCP® gives care providers and their companies the critical tools they need to quickly navigate the long term care insurance claims process. With this training, a professional in the fields of home care or residential care raises his or her value to their clients and families by making a commitment to help them receive the compensation they invested so much money in over the years." "If you’re a financial advisor, LTCI Specialist, home care or facility provider, etc., you NEED to know the ins and outs of the LTC insurance claims process and I highly recommend you take this training!" "Just finished your LTCCP® online class. The class was great and very informative. I use my ability to understand clients’ LTC policies as a marketing tool for my agency. I also use the LTCCP® designation to market to senior communities for possible new residents thinking of moving into the community. I help potential new residents understand their policy and what it can cover for home care in independent living. I have helped activate benefits for them on many occasions. It is a win, win as I earn preferred referral status from the communities and get to work in those communities providing care. Thanks again!" "Bill Comfort is a recognized professional in the field of long-term care insurance not just because of his sales expertise, but more importantly because of his focus on how it should be used: not as product that simply protects the insured, but to protect those he or she loves by funding a plan to mitigate the consequences of providing care. By these principles he serves his clients and improves his profession by teaching other advisors why LTC planning is a vital component of every retirement plan. "Bill Comfort and I 'met' in 1999, in an online forum that focused on long-term care insurance. He and I participated in heated debates about LTCi policy language and claims adjudication - our sole focus being to help our clients get the policy that would serve them best at the time of claim. Bill was an expert on LTCi claims and policy language back then, and even more so now! There's no person in this country more qualified to write and teach this course." |
