The chapter welcomed speaker Petra Petry, who is not only an expert on Long Term Care planning, but also the new President of the Orange County Chapter of the NAPW. Petra is affiliated with the largest brokerage, nationwide, that specializes only in Long Term Care. Her experience has taught her that the two biggest problems that people have with Long Term Care are procrastination and fear of looking into the future need for benefits. People are afraid that the coverage will be expensive, but she explained that it is much more reasonable than most people think, and far less expensive than not having the coverage. It is very inexpensive for younger people, but available right up to age 85. Many people think that Medicare will cover their Long Term Care needs, but it actually will only pay for the first 20 days, leaving the individual to pick up the costs for the rest. Petra then covered many different aspects about coverage, including deductibles, purchasing as a couple, and the various ways that claims can be paid. In spite of covering so many aspects of Long Term Care during her talk, it was apparent that there was much more to learn. Petra invited anyone interested to follow up with her by phone or email.
“Once again, we not only had great get togethers during August that offered excellent networking opportunities, but also learned valuable information from a very special speaker!” Sharon said.
