Panora, Iowa – May 31, 2016- As the cost of health care continues to rise, in particular long-term health care, the need for long-term care (LTC) benefit solutions becomes more apparent for Americans preparing for their financial future. With this in mind, Brokers International is expanding its asset-based LTC offerings by representing an A+ rated* insurance and financial service organization, OneAmerica.
Independent insurance agents contracted with Brokers International will now have access to products offered by the companies of OneAmerica, including annuities, life insurance and asset-based LTC solutions. Asset-based LTC benefits cover anticipated and unforeseen long-term health care expenses while the policy holder is still alive, or can be used as a death benefit that passes to beneficiaries tax-free if the policy holder doesn’t use the LTC benefit.

“There is now a greater responsibility by the financial services industry to offer products and services that specifically address the need to plan for and pay for long-term health care situations,” commented Mark Williams, Brokers International president. “Joining forces with OneAmerica and supporting their asset-based long-term care benefits products provides our agents with a broader selection of dedicated products to offer their clients.”
Both Brokers International and OneAmerica have a strong reputation of integrity and service within the financial services industry. When OneAmerica made the decision to branch out from direct producer relationships and explore offering products to independent agents a little more than a year ago, teaming up with one of the longest standing IMOs in the marketplace was an easy decision.
“Financial professionals and consumers alike are gravitating toward asset-based long-term care products as a means to mitigate long-term care risk and create stronger retirement strategies,” said Pat Foley, CLU, ChFC, President, Individual Life and Financial Services at OneAmerica. “Promoting these products through Brokers International is an ideal way to help financial professionals offer the versatile solutions their clients are seeking.”
Brokers International will begin offering OneAmerica company products starting immediately. To get a product quote, contact Brokers International at 800-362-1097 or visit www.biltd.com.
