What aspect of a long-term care policy may change when it is replaced?

Coverage benefits
Premium
Insurer
Underwriting criteria

The correct answer is: Premium

In the context of long-term care policies, the premium is a key aspect that can change when the policy is replaced. Premiums are the payments made to maintain the insurance coverage, and they can vary based on factors such as the insurer's risk assessment, market conditions, and changes in the policy structure itself. When a long-term care policy is replaced, the new policy may come with a different premium structure due to changes in the insured's age, health status, or adjustments in the underwriting guidelines adopted by the new insurer. These factors can lead to an increase or decrease in the premium compared to the original policy. While other aspects like coverage benefits, insurer, and underwriting criteria can also change, the primary adjustment that policyholders often notice immediately upon replacement is the impact on the premium. Understanding this helps individuals make informed decisions about managing their long-term care needs and financial planning.
