Here
are two eye-popping facts: Someone turning 65 will have a nearly 70%
chance of needing long-term care in the future.
And the annual cost of a
private room in a nursing home (national median) is over $100,000 a
year, according to the recent Genworth Cost of Care Survey.
Yet only about 10% of Americans 65 and older have long-term care insurance.
If you’re 50+, should you consider buying a long-term care insurance policy, which can often cost between $2,000 and $5,000 a year?
The new episode of the Friends Talk Money
podcast, hosted by personal finance experts Terry Savage, Pam Krueger
and Richard Eisenburg helps answer that thorny question.
You can listen to it below or
find it on all major streaming platforms and on Friendstalkmoney.org.
Long-Term Care Costs: The Financial-Planning Topic People Hate

Great Local Dentists Save You 70%+ on Braces, Implants, Crowns. No Insurance Needed.
Major
dental work is expensive. Dentists charge around $5,500 for braces and
$4,000 for an implant and crown. If you don’t have a dental plan, you
would pay the entire fee.
If you have a dental plan, it doesn’t
get much better. Good dental plans cover $1,500 for either procedure,
so you still have to pay around $4,000 for braces and $2,500 for an
implant and crown to make up the difference.

There
are a couple of different scenarios whereby an employee who is covered
by both Medicare and the employer’s group health plan may encounter a
dilemma as to which pays a claim first. Typically, this is a classic
“coordination of benefits” that can sometimes cause confusion if not
handled in a timely manner.
For
employers with less than 20 employees, in a large majority of cases,
Medicare is the primary payer of the claim, followed by the group health
plan.
For
Example, billed amount $500, Medicare allowed amount $300, Part B pays
80% of $300 = $240, group medical plan will pay the co-insurance amount
of the $60 balance of the allowed amount.
Once
an employee turns 65 and they are covered by Medicare A or B, they can
no longer contribute to the HSA. If they are on Medicare, however, they
can use funds to reimburse213(d) expenses. They do not lose their money.
