AARP Genworth Long Term Care Insurance Review

AARP Genworth Long Term Care Insurance Policy

AARP is the largest organization in the United States for individuals over the age of 50, with over 40 million members.

We are often asked by our clients "How good is the AARP Genworth long term care insurance policy?"

To answer this question, it is important to first understand what AARP is.

AARP is a for-profit marketing organization that contracts with insurance companies to market insurance to its large member base.  AARP does not sell or underwrite insurance.  It is simply a distribution channel for life insurance companies to pitch their products.

For life insurance, AARP has an agreement with New York Life. 

For homeowners insurance, AARP endorses The Hartford. 

If you need a Medicare supplement, AARP has a marketing agreement with United Health Care.

For long term care insurance, AARP currently endorses Genworth Financial.

So, how good is the AARP Genworth long term care insurance policy?

Yes.  We believe it is a very good long term care insurance policy.  In fact, the AARP Genworth policy is a very comprehensive policy.

The AARP Genworth long term care insurance policy includes monthly benefits, a zero day home care waiting period, and a paid-up spousal survivorship benefit.  These long term care insurance policy benefits are valuable.

Contrary to popular opinion, however, Genworth long term care insurance marketed to AARP members is not discounted. 

So, the AARP long term care insurance policy is benefit-rich, but unfortunately it is a one size fits all package. 

Should you desire to save premium by not buying these additional cost benefits, you should look elsewhere.

Compare AARP long term care insurance with all available policies

Long term care insurance costs are based upon many factors including your age, your health history and your marital status.  Each underwriter, including Genworth, looks at health history differently. 

Genworth, for instance, may be more difficult for applicants to get approved if there is a history of diabetes; or if the applicant is overweight.

Thus, it pays to work with an independent long term care insurance specialist that is familiar with all of the various guidelines.
