Offering Long Term Care
Insurance to Your Employees
is as easy as ABC!GRP11-504-TN
The LTC-TN Plan
Quick Facts…
A long term care event can
happen to anyone at any age…
…and can quickly take an employee out of work whether the employee needs the care
or provides the care.
What Does That Mean for Employers?
• Loss of Productivity• Employees Quitting Their Jobs• Retraining and Replacement Costs
According to AARP – “at least 7 out of 10 working caregivers leave the workforce entirely or make a substantial change such as reducing hours or transferring into a less demanding job.”
AARP, 2011
Quick Facts…
A tidal wave of caregiving is about to hit U.S. employers as the fastest growing segment of the workforce is 55 and up – employees who are in their prime caregiving years.
Just under half (49%) of the workforce expects to provide care to a family member or friend in the next five years.”
Mature Market Institute, 2010
Long-Term Care Insurance Helps the CAREGIVER
• Preserve freedom• Preserve personal time• Avoid unprecedented stress• Balance work and family life
Melisa Currey, Comptroller, Community Foundationand LTC-TN Policyholder
“My parents do not have long-term care insurance so I’ve seen what it costs to take care of them. I bought my LTC-TN policy because I do not want to be a burden on my children when it comes time for me to need LTC services. In fact, I felt so strongly about it, that I had my young adult daughter buy a State plan also. I realized, if something happened to her, I would become an instant caregiver while still trying to work full-time. How could I do that without the help of long-term care insurance?”
Offering long term care
insurance as part of your employee benefit package can help increase your productivity
and help lower your costs related to employees who are
caregivers.
That’s Why…
Sandra Crouch, Director, White County Schools
“I was so pleased to be able to offer the State's LTC-TN plan to our employees. The difference with this program is that it is based on extensively educating the staff through informative emails and live group meetings. This allows the employees to make better plan choices on a subject they may not be familiar with and can have a devastating impact on their lives. Also, the ABC's job is made easier because they can connect the employee directly to a LTC-TN plan specialist who becomes their ‘personal consultant’. This makes the process so much easier for the ABC."
Francie Brodman, University of Tennessee
“The UT ‘family’ of employees have been provided with LTC-TN educational materials, group meetings and personal phone consultations since 2012. Over 300 employees attended last year alone.
We have found the enrollment process to be easy and straightforward. The wide-ranging services and knowledge of this benefit provide the staff and eligible family members the individualized attention they need when making such important decisions, no matter where they live in the state of Tennessee.”

If your employees fully understand the potential impact of providing
long term care to a family member, they may see the
advantages of enrolling in the LTC-TN plan
just as these policyholders did…
And…
Daughter of an LTC-TN Policyholder
“My incredible mom is a Tennessee middle school teacher. I knew that someday I would invest in long term care insurance as my gift to her. I was thrilled that she qualified for a LTC-TN policy with more options for her care. There is nothing like knowing that my precious mom will be taken care of when she needs it the most.”
T. M. (Daughter)
MedAmerica provides the
educational material necessary to successfully incorporate

But the most rewarding thing that can happen is when an
employee tells you how much it means to have this coverage in place when care is needed…
That’s all there is to it!
