Long-Term Care Insurance
LTC insurance has been available for over 20 years
It’s estimated that approximately only 9% of those who need and can afford it have purchased it*
Prudential’s vast team of highly–paid Consultants have studied this in depth.
Their conclusion: “If only 9% of prospects have purchased it, that means 91% have not.”
How do we get LTC insurance to more people who need it?

Long-Term Care Insurance
So in 20 years, we’ve only penetrated 9% of the market… and new sales have declined almost every year for the last seven years
If you have been in this business for a few years (or more) you’ve got to ask yourself, “Am I happy with that? What can we, as an industry, do to turn it around?”
We may not get to the other 91% of the eligible LTCi Market – but maybe we can get to another 10% , 20%, or 30%
5For Financial Professional/Training Use Only – Not for distribution to the general public.
So What Are OUR LTCi Challenges?
Average LTCi Premiums keep going up ($1924 in 2004, $2184 in 2008)
Producers who are not “LTCi Specialists” have been challenged to explain it and sell it
Producers and clients get confused by the many “moving parts“ of a traditional LTCi policy – many do not make a selling or a buying decision
The most common objection continues to be “It’s too expensive”
6For Financial Professional/Training Use Only – Not for distribution to the general public.
Here are some Solutions:
Make LTCi premiums more affordable Make LTCi product designs simpler but still
provide comprehensive coverage Agents and clients need to reassess LTCi
alternatives to pre-paying (over-paying?) for 5% Compound Inflation Benefit increases
7For Financial Professional/Training Use Only – Not for distribution to the general public.
Prudential LTC EvolutionSM is Simpler Fewer decision points in creating plan design
• Lifetime Maximum ($100,000 - $1,000,000)• 90 Calendar Day Elimination Period• Built-in Benefit Increase Feature/Option (GIF)• Fewer Optional Benefits
80/20 - coinsurance reimbursement model for most benefits No daily or monthly dollar limit on benefits - policy
automatically keeps pace with inflation’s effect on the daily or monthly actual costs of care
Lower premiums Federally tax-qualified policy
8For Financial Professional/Training Use Only – Not for distribution to the general public.
80% of Actual Expenses – No Daily Dollar Limit
Used for whatever and whenever covered services are needed
No discussion needed on “Cost of Nursing Home Care”
CLIENT CHOOSES at Claim Time:• Type and expense of service• Frequency (hours per day) of service
It doesn’t matter how much inflation has increased the cost of that service
This takes the guesswork out of the DBA/MBA decision at time of application

11For Financial Professional/Training Use Only – Not for distribution to the general public.
Prudential LTC EvolutionSM w/GIF and Partnership Requirements
DRA mandates that a Partnership policy sold to ages 60 and younger must include “Compound Inflation”
Also allows increases that track CPI as long as benefit increases are automatic – policyholder cannot choose whether or not to take an increase
But LTC Evolution w/GIF allows a policyholder to decide whether or not to take the increases to Policy Max
How/why does that meet the “Compound Inflation” requirement?
12For Financial Professional/Training Use Only – Not for distribution to the general public.
Inflation Protection:A Different Approach
For traditional LTCi, inflation protection has two parts:A. It increases the DBA by a % (i.e., 5%) B. It increases the balance of the Policy
Maximum Amount by a % Because Prudential LTC EvolutionSM does
not have a dollar limit/DBA, the basic policy keeps up with inflation’s effects on the daily costs of care – No option needs to be added; “A” is taken care of
13For Financial Professional/Training Use Only – Not for distribution to the general public.
What About 5% Compound Inflation?
Clients are required to sign an “I reject (the most expensive, pre-funded, richest benefit) Inflation” form when not applying for 5% Compound Inflation
As an industry we sell 5% Compound to 45% of our (rapidly dwindling) base of LTCi buyers
A pre-funded, high-priced, 30-year “Service Plan” may be suitable for some people – but many do not buy LTCi at all because of “Sticker Shock”

Q. What is The Best Deal?
Example: Annual Premium Comparison*LTC Evo GIF $948LTC3 GPO $916LTC3 5% Compound $1,816LTC3 5% Simple $1,381LTC3 5% Compound 2X Max $1,290
*Age 55, LTC3 = 5 Yr BP, 90 EP, $150 DBA, 100% HHC, Standard I, 2-Spouse Discount – LTC Evo = $200K
15For Financial Professional/Training Use Only – Not for distribution to the general public.
A. It DependsFor 9% of the population:Any of the LTC3SM options could be correct
For 91% of the population who won’t/don’t/can’t buy any Standard-model LTCi product:
The Prudential LTC EvolutionSM w/GIF solution may be the only one that’s correct!
How many potential buyers of LTCi are you missing?

21For Financial Professional/Training Use Only – Not for distribution to the general public.
Shared Care Option - Considerations
Must purchase a policy and this rider together at policy inception
Both Shared Care Partners must have the rider and designate each other as the Shared Care Partner
Both Shared Care Partners must have and maintain identical Policy Benefits, including optional riders and premium payment options
Premium Factors range from 35% (younger age/$100k) to 5% (higher age/$1M) Example: Age 55 @ $500k = 24%

What Sellers are Saying About Prudential LTC EvolutionSM
Prudential Career Agent – Southern Territory: “I will no longer sell LTC3. LTC Evolution is much easier to
explain to people.” “I learned the product from brochures and from the PLN
(Prudential’s web-based agent learning site).” “It’s a great sale along with Life Insurance. Life Insurance
protects you if you die too soon. LTC insurance protects you if you live too long.”
26For Financial Professional/Training Use Only – Not for distribution to the general public.
Brokerage Agent/LTCi Specialist – Midwest: “LTC Evolution had visceral appeal to me due to its simplicity.” “It’s easy to explain the bucket of money. And the 80/20 model fits
my coinsurance model of sales.” “LTC Evolution’s biggest feature is it’s the only product that can
solve 24/7 home care. The wealthiest people are adamant about never going into a facility. I never had a product to satisfy this until LTC Evolution. Round the clock home care is key.”
“I don’t sell LTC Evolution w/Inflation; it’s built-in anyway.”
