“Education is an important component for understanding clients’ long term care needs,” states J. William Cooley, President/CEO of
The Success Family of CE Companies. “Financial advisors and agents must help protect their clients from the potential devastating
affects of not having the proper insurance for their (or their parents’ care) care later in life. This course will help them identify
the fundamentals and to help them counsel their clients at the highest level.”
SuccessCE’s insurance continuing education course is offered for online self-study, so agents can complete the training at their own
pace. This course is designed to explore the conditions that have led us to the point where long term care is receiving front-page
attention. The emotional and physical impact such dependence evokes and the alternatives available to those who find themselves in this
position are discussed This course covers all aspects of the need for long term care insurance including demographics and care settings,
as well as cost and availability of long term care services. Alternatives to purchasing long term care insurance are also explored as
potential strategies per the Washington requirement.
Several chapters deal with both State and Federal regulations and programs affecting this market including Medicare, Medicaid,
HIPAA, and The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. Much of the Washington Administrative Code as it relates to long term care insurance and
the Washington Long Term Care partnership is annotated and explained. This is the initial course and once taken the producer will take a
smaller 4 hour follow up course in each subsequent renewal period.
The development of this course continues the Success CE commitment to high quality and knowledge based courses to improve the
knowledge of agents nationwide.
