Long-term Care Planning and Insurance with Marc Glickman
• 33 minMarc Glickman is an actuary and long-term care insurance expert. He is the founder and CEO of BuddyIns, a nationwide community of long-term care insurance experts who are dedicated to helping individuals and families find the best plan to meet their care needs. Marc previously served as the Chief Sales Officer of LifeCare Assurance Company, a firm he worked with for over 11 years before founding BuddyIns in 2019. In addition to his work at BuddyIns, Marc serves as a member of the Board of Advisors for CLTC. He holds an Economics degree from Yale University and is a designated Fellow of the Society of Actuaries. Marc joins me today to discuss and clarify the misconceptions about long-term care planning and insurance. He describes why long-term care services have greater inflation than other products and how financial advisors can approach a conversation with a client about policies. He discusses why financial advisors should work with long-term care specialists. He also explains how offering long-term care planning to clients can open up generational wealth planning opportunities for financial advisors and highlights why long-term care planning is one of the best business relationship-building tools for a financial advisor. “Think of a long-term care policy as a gift to your family. I bought my policy as a gift to my wife, who was happy to know that if something happens to me, she will not feel burdened with providing care for me.” - Marc Glickman This week on The Model FA Podcast: Marc’s background and how he began his career in long-term care planning and insurance Long-term care planning and insurance and its role in a general financial plan How unpaid long-term caregiving impacts families The best time to talk to a client about long-term care insurance policies How to talk to a client who’s not open to long-term care Funding mechanisms for long-term care services and policies Planning for insurance premiums with clients living on a fixed income The likelihood of an individual using their long-term care policy How a client can benefit from a long-term care plan if they don’t get to use it How offering long-term care products can help financial advisors grow their businesses Resources Mentioned: Book: The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life by Alice Schroeder Our Favorite Quotes: “When you’re properly insured, you get an insulation and a sense of fearlessness that no matter what happens, everyone around you is taken care of. It’s a rewarding feeling.” - David DeCelle “Not implementing long-term care planning throughout your client relationships makes you grossly under-insured in your own book of business. Have these conversations; otherwise, it's a business risk for you in the long run.” - David DeCelle “One out of two people will have an extended care event that will last up to 90 days. It’s definitely something worth planning for.” - Marc Glickman Connect with Marc Glickman: BuddyIns BuddyIns Insurance Service on LinkedIn BuddyIns Insurance Services on Facebook BuddyIns Insurance Services on YouTube Marc Glickman on LinkedIn Email: Marc@BuddyIns.com About the Model FA Podcast The Model FA podcast is a show for fiduciary financial advisors.
