What is the Disability Model

This model is also referred to as a fixed dollar plan. 

  • The disability model does not require the insured to submit receipts/invoices for the cost of care.
  • Benefits are paid automatically upon the insured meeting the benefit eligibility requirements. 
  • Care can be provided by a professional caretaker/facility or by an informal caregiver. 
  • The benefit amount paid is based on the member’s location (home, nursing home, assisted living, etc.).
