Symetra: 40% of Baby Boomers Answered This One Question Incorrectly?
Does Medicare cover nursing home care?
There’s a lack of knowledge surrounding Medicare for most of us, such as what age we’re eligible and what care is covered. According to Money Magazine, a survey found that 40% of baby boomers believe Medicare will pay for a stay in a nursing home if they need help with daily living activities such as dressing and eating.1 Unfortunately, that may not be the case.
This is a good reason to talk to your clients about Symetra’s Accelerated Death Benefit for Chronic Care Advantage Rider that’s available on our indexed universal life products.
With this optional rider, policyowners can choose to access a portion of the death benefit (50% or 100%) with monthly payments of either 2% or 4% if the insured is certified by a health practitioner as being chronically ill.2,3
