Most policies require 30, 60, or 90 days of qualifying care before benefits begin paying out. Importantly, care typically must be provided during the elimination period. In many cases, the claim can only be approved after that period has been completed and documented. We help you track and record this correctly from day one.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n <details class=\"ltc-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"ltc-faq__q\">Can we start care before the claim is approved?<\/summary>\n <p class=\"ltc-faq__a\">In most cases, yes, and in fact, most policies require it. Care often needs to be in place and documented during the elimination period before a claim can be approved. Our agency provides the home care services to satisfy the elimination period, and we continue delivering care seamlessly once the claim is approved. We make sure everything is set up and recorded properly so there are no surprises.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n <details class=\"ltc-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"ltc-faq__q\">My claim has been submitted. Why is it still pending?<\/summary>\n <p class=\"ltc-faq__a\">Carriers can take time to review claims, and they often request additional documentation along the way. We follow up on your behalf to keep things moving and respond quickly to any carrier requests so your approval isn’t delayed. If you started a claim and it is still pending, we are happy to support you in the resolution of that claim.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n <details class=\"ltc-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"ltc-faq__q\">What documents does the carrier need?<\/summary>\n <p class=\"ltc-faq__a\">Every carrier is different, but most require physician statements, functional assessments, and care records.

Most policies require 30, 60, or 90 days of qualifying care before benefits begin paying out. Importantly, care typically must be provided during the elimination period. In many cases, the claim can only be approved after that period has been completed and documented. We help you track and record this correctly from day one.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n <details class=\"ltc-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"ltc-faq__q\">Can we start care before the claim is approved?<\/summary>\n <p class=\"ltc-faq__a\">In most cases, yes, and in fact, most policies require it. Care often needs to be in place and documented during the elimination period before a claim can be approved. Our agency provides the home care services to satisfy the elimination period, and we continue delivering care seamlessly once the claim is approved. We make sure everything is set up and recorded properly so there are no surprises.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n <details class=\"ltc-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"ltc-faq__q\">My claim has been submitted. Why is it still pending?<\/summary>\n <p class=\"ltc-faq__a\">Carriers can take time to review claims, and they often request additional documentation along the way. We follow up on your behalf to keep things moving and respond quickly to any carrier requests so your approval isn’t delayed. If you started a claim and it is still pending, we are happy to support you in the resolution of that claim.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n <details class=\"ltc-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"ltc-faq__q\">What documents does the carrier need?<\/summary>\n <p class=\"ltc-faq__a\">Every carrier is different, but most require physician statements, functional assessments, and care records. We help you collect the right documents from your healthcare providers so nothing is missing from your submission.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"ltc-trust\" aria-labelledby=\"ltc-trust-h2\">\n <div class=\"ltc-container\">\n\n <div class=\"ltc-diff ltc-reveal\">\n <div class=\"ltc-diff__content\">\n <p class=\"ltc-diff__label\">Why families trust us<\/p>\n <p class=\"ltc-diff__quote\">\n “Most home care agencies leave families to figure out the insurance process on their own.<br>\n <strong>We don’t.<\/strong>”\n <\/p>\n <p style=\"font-size:15px; color:rgba(255,255,255,0.82); line-height:1.7; margin:0;\">We’ve helped families navigate the claims process with major carriers, and we treat the paperwork as part of the care, because reducing your stress is part of our job.<\/p>\n <ul class=\"ltc-diff__list\">\n <li>We call the carrier for you<\/li>\n <li>We document the elimination period correctly<\/li>\n <li>We submit and follow up on the claim<\/li>\n <li>We bill directly where the policy allows<\/li>\n <li>We keep benefits flowing without interruption<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <div>\n <a href=\"#\" class=\"qc-cta w-button\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\"#des_2020_talk_popup\">Request a Free LTC Insurance Consultation<\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"ltc-diff__photo\">\n <img decoding=\"async\"\n src=\"https:\/\/qualicare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Coordinated-Care-for-Dementia-Patients.jpg\"\n alt=\"Qualicare caregiver with family member at home\"\n loading=\"lazy\"\n \/>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"ltc-360\" aria-labelledby=\"ltc-360-h2\">\n <div class=\"ltc-container\">\n\n <div class=\"ltc-360__intro ltc-reveal\">\n <h2 class=\"ltc-h2\" id=\"ltc-360-h2\">The Qualicare 360° Approach to LTC Insurance<\/h2>\n <p class=\"ltc-body\" style=\"font-style:italic; color:var(--muted);\">You’ve got a lot of difficult decisions to make.
