Long-Term Care
Long-Term Care (LTC) insurance is an important health insurance product. Most experts agree that LTC insurance is a critical component of a retirement plan, and many people are under the false assumption that they are currently covered for long-term care. Without it, chances are good you’ll be responsible for paying most, if not all, of the costs out of your own pocket. With the option to choose from multiple carriers, alumni are able to obtain coverage and/or find lower rates based on their individual health circumstances. Alumni and their spouses are offered a 5% discount annually through the alumni society.
You’ll get a free copy of “A Shopper’s Guide to Long-Term Care Insurance,” and a no-obligation, customized quote to help you see how long-term care coverage can fit into your family’s financial safety net. Take a Closer Look Today … Just Call Toll-Free 1-800-616-8759

With The University of Scranton Alumni Society’s 10-Year Level Term Life Insurance Program, you can help build a reliable financial safety net for your loved ones by requesting up to $1 million in term life benefits. Plus, once your coverage is put in force, you can also rest easy knowing your benefits are guaranteed to remain the same for the next 10 years.

Group Catastrophe Major Medical Coverage
With today’s skyrocketing medical bills, it makes sense to lock in a “just-in-case” safety net to help protect your family’s finances against the significant expenses of deductibles, copayments and certain types of care that may be limited under your basic major medical plan. With up to $2,000,000 in extra healthcare benefits, your Alumni Catastrophe Major Medical Coverage can be a smart addition to your current healthcare coverage.
