In addition to coverage for long-term care, immediate health care benefits are provided to the purchasers in the form of an interactive health management program. The health management program may include contact between health care advisors and the availability of a wide range of health care services to provide positive health planning and resources to the policyholders. Underwriting and portions of the health management program may be provided through automation to reduce overhead expenses.
