Policies Purchased Before Diagnosis

Some people purchase policies when they are healthy in the event that they may become disabled in the future. If you purchased such a policy prior to your symptoms and diagnosis and have been paying your premiums, you should receive benefits according to your contract.
 
  • If you or your employer purchased a short-term or long-term disability insurance policy, you should be reimbursed a certain percentage of your former salary for a stated period of time after you have stopped working.
 
  • If you purchased a long-term care policy, it should help pay for non-medical long-term care in your home or in a care facility.
    ​
  • If you purchased a life insurance policy with a long-term care provision, or rider, it should help pay for non-medical long-term care in your home or in a facility. There may also be options to take cash out (for a penalty) of a standard life insurance policy to help pay for your expenses.
