Dispense with the paper and the delay; complete an electronic application, with live hand-holding, and get an answer pronto. The agency is LTC Financial Partners LLC (LTCFP), one of the nation&#8217;s most experienced long term care insurance agencies.<\/p>\n<p> The move beyond paper extends LTCFP&#8217;s earlier move toward technological efficiency. In June, 2008, the company announced &#8220;going green&#8221; to save time and millions of gallons of gasoline per year &#8212; through telephone interviews in place of the traditional in-home interview. The program offered convenience to consumers and doubled the productivity of some of LTCFP&#8217;s agents, which numbered in the hundreds. In addition, the program eliminated long, gas-guzzling drives to consumers&#8217; homes. There was still that pesky paper application form to fill out, though. Here&#8217;s how the new process works:<\/p>\n<p> 1. While on the phone with one of LTCFP&#8217;s state-certified agents, you indicate you&#8217;d like to save time by submitting your application electronically.<\/p>\n<p> 2. If the policy you want supports electronic applications, the agent asks you questions and fills in the blanks on an Internet form via his or her computer. Acting as your &#8220;Internet chauffeur,&#8221; the agent does all the work for you.<\/p>\n<p> 3. Once you&#8217;ve supplied all the necessary information, the electronic application is immediately transmitted to the insurance carrier for review. Often times, your application will be approved or declined within a few days, versus the 30 to 60 days it typically takes for a traditional paper policy.<\/p>\n<p> LTCFP represents several long term care insurance carriers. Just one of them, LifeSecure Insurance Company, currently supports electronic applications in the broad market. &#8220;But going paperless is the wave of the future,&#8221; says Denise Gott, LTCFP&#8217;s Chairman of the Board. &#8220;In good time, we expect more of our carriers to offer the electronic application option. Another is already providing it on a limited basis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> A list of LTCFP&#8217;s agents may be found on the company&#8217;s website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ltcfp.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.ltcfp.com<\/a>. Currently LifeSecure serves 44 states. Working with multiple carriers, LTCFP serves individuals and organizations in all 50 states.<\/p>\n<p>News issued by: LTC Financial Partners LLC<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/10-0728-denisegott_72dpi.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"LTC Financial Partners LLC\"\/><\/p>\n<p><small>Original Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/10-0728-denisegott_72dpi.jpg\" class=\"autohyperlink\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/10-0728-denisegott_72dpi.jpg<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<p> # # # <\/p>\n<p><small>Original Story ID:  (6141) :: 2010-07-0728-001<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>Original Keywords: long term care insurance, Denise Gott, state-certified agents, LTCi, LifeSecure Insurance Company, sgency, application, policy, apply, LTCFP LTC Financial Partners LLC Kirkland Washington KIRKLAND, Wash.<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>Alternate Headline: Leading LTC Agency Goes Greener, Reducing Paper Flow, Offers Applications Online<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><strong>NEWS ARCHIVE NOTE:<\/strong> this archival news content, issued by the news source via Send2Press Newswire, was originally located in the Send2Press&reg; 2004-2015 2.0 news platform and has been permanently converted\/moved (and redirected) into our 3.0 platform.
