Co-Founder of Red Feather Financial, Dr. Sabrina Scott Tells Readers It’s Time To Break With Tradition When It Comes To Long-Term Care Insurance
Dr. Sabrina Scott reviews the benefits of new hybrid long-term care insurance policies versus the traditional ones that used to be the only game in town.
DECATUR, GA, July 9, 2019: Dr. Sabrina Scott, co-founder of Red Feather Financial, has posted a new blog on the firm’s website entitled “From Traditional To Hybrid Long-Term Care Solutions.” Dr. Scott clearly prefers giving her clients options which traditional long-term care policies don’t offer.
Dr. Scott writes, “Out with the old, in with the new!” She adds, “I know it isn’t New Year’s but it’s time to discuss a new way to plan for long-term care. And it’s definitely out with the old way.” As Dr. Scott points out, “I mean, paying an insurance premium for decades, on a policy that if you end up not using it you lose every penny you paid into it just doesn’t make sense.”
“And to make matters worse,” says Dr. Scott, “if you decide you want a traditional long-term care policy and you’re 65 or older, you have to be in tip-top shape to even qualify. And chances of actually getting the benefits when you need them are pretty slim with all the rules surrounding these old-style policies.”
According to Dr. Scott, “Today there are some newly developed hybrid or linked-benefit policies to explore as options. One solution that’s growing increasingly popular is a form of life insurance that includes tax-qualified long-term care riders. With these policies, the owner is able to access the majority of the death benefit if long-term care services are needed. And, in the event long-term care services are not needed or if all of the death benefit is not used up to pay for long-term care expenditures, the remaining death benefit is paid out to the beneficiaries upon the death of the policy owner.”

About Dr. Sabrina Scott
Sabrina Scott learned about Veterans Benefits and Medicaid when her parents sought legal services for long-term care. Confident she could find ways to preserve her family’s resources and still get access to Government Assistance, Sabrina felt there should be more options than relying on welfare. As a result, Dr. Scott became an investment advisor representative who can make recommendations regarding securities and became licensed in insurance as well. She co-founded Red Feather Financial with Victoria Collier to help those who want to have a plan in place in order not to outlive their resources and who do not want to be a burden to their children.
