Jenny, you and me both are worried against the current economic events. Pennsylvania is only reflecting what is happening in the global market. We have seen inflation rates never before seen, but this does not mean that we are helpless, or without options.
First option, if this is made available to you by your agent in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania PA, is to buy more coverage. This would help ensure that you will get the same benefits you originally paid for. But, strictly speaking, this only costs you more as it means that you are buying more of a commodity that will be devalued over time.
The second option is to have an indexed inflation, which increases the amount your policy every year. But this will increase your premiums and if the price of long term care continues to increase over time, this might not be of significant help.
There is also the option of a simple protection which increases your daily benefit received in the event of a claim by a fixed percentage every year. However, cost of long term care increases at a faster rate than that of simple protection, so a simple protection will not be very helpful in the long run.
Probably the best option you have in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania PA is compounded protection. Compounded protection increases the daily benefit by a certain percentage each year using a compounded formula. As with any other case, it may not be perfect but like I said, this is probably the best option at hand.
