The Californer/10202472

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Consumers with questions regarding their long-term care insurance claims are being assisted as part of a new initiative undertaken by the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance.

"People who purchased long-term care insurance years ago are starting to need benefits and starting to need the benefits of their coverage," explains Slome.  "Starting a claim when you have serious health issues can be a daunting task."

According to Slome, the Association has been receiving an increasing number of calls from consumers with questions regarding long-term care insurance claim problems.  "Some of the calls are from policyholders but often they come from adult children."
