Long term care insurance, an insurance program that pays the bill when you need extended care in your home, assisted living facility or nursing home, consists of basic coverage and features plus riders. The basic coverage is the maximum dollar amount per day times the number of days of coverage for which your company will pay for care. It includes an elimination period–which is simply the number of days that you will have to pay for care. Basic coverage should include nursing home and assisted living along with an option of receiving care in your own home.
LTCi features

When your product is market ready and has a good bargain, it will be no value to you if you don't know who's going to buy it, or how you are going to tell the world about it. Your product will only sell if it has a good wide distribution network.Let's say that you've written a "Guide to" make $120,000 a year compiling and selling mailing lists. You calculate the production cost of $1.50 per book in lots of $1,000. The advertisement will cost you $1.50 per book. This brings the basic cost of your book to $3per copy with a paintsticking survey you found out you can sell this book at $10per copy. Thus making $7 gain per copy. That's not a bad business. The problem you're going to encounter here is selling the book. Lets say you're the best sales man in town selling the book, it will keep you busy 25 hours a day, 8days a week, 366 days a year doing it alone.The best way out of it is recruiting as many people as you can to help you

LTCi Riders
A rider is an extra benefit that will increase the premium on your policy, often substantially. A certified agent can be indispensable as he/she will help assess your situation to determine which, if any, riders you need.
Don't refuse LTCi insurance just because you can't afford the riders. If the initial price seems too high, ask the agent what riders he has included, as agents often include inflation riders without asking. Also, be aware that companies that appear to have lower premiums may simply be listing several of the features as riders. If so, by the time you include those benefits, you will be paying as much as you would to a company that simply includes them as features.
Waiver of premium for spouse
Nearly all legitimate companies waive the premium for the person who goes on claim. However, only the best waive the premium for both when one person needs care. Others add the second waiver as a rider.
Inflation rider
All companies will urge you to include an inflation rider with your policy. This rider will increase your daily maximum as well as your total pot of money by 3%, 4%, 5% compounded, or by 5 percent simple each year. On a 5% compounded, if you start with a $100 per day benefit, you will have $200 per day in 15 years without increasing your premium each year.
Since nursing home costs increase faster than inflation, it's a good idea to take some sort of inflation rider if you can afford it. It does nearly double the cost of the policy. An alternative is to start with a h
