To Protect More of Us, ACSIA Partners LLC Adds Tools from OneAmerica® to Its Long-Term Care Solutions Arsenal, Pattianne Baran Reports

Lakewood, OH September 19, 2016 -- As the cost of long-term care (LTC) continues to rise, the ability to pay for it becomes more critical. But LTC protection is carried by only about 10% of those who could benefit from it, according to industry estimates. To serve a larger percentage, ACSIA Partners LLC is expanding its asset-based LTC offerings by representing an A+ rated* insurance and financial service organization, OneAmerica®.

The new offerings will be available through Pattianne Baran, who represents ACSIA Partners LLC in CO, FL, GA, IL, IN, KS, LA, MA, MD, MI, MO, MS, NC, NJ, OH, PA, RI, TN, TX, VA.

Unlike traditional LTC insurance, OneAmerica Care Solutions® are based on tangible assets (life insurance or annuities) that may be tapped to pay for care when needed. "While traditional policies are right for many people," says Denise Gott, CEO of ACSIA Partners LLC, "asset-based solutions from OneAmerica will appeal to many others."

Why? Gott points to four key reasons:

• "Premiums can never increase and benefits cannot change."
• "If you stay fit until the end, your money isn't lost. Funds not used for long-term care go to your beneficiaries tax-free."
• "You can access funds if you need them for any purpose."
• "It's an option for those who don't qualify for traditional LTC insurance, for health or other reasons."

“Joining forces with OneAmerica provides our agents with a wider selection of much-needed products," says Gott, "and we expect to serve a broadening range of consumer and worksite clients." ACSIA Partners LLC also represents several other leading insurance carriers.

Both ACSIA Partners LLC and OneAmerica have a strong reputation of integrity and service within the financial services industry. “Financial professionals and consumers alike are gravitating toward asset-based long-term care solutions as a means to mitigate long-term care risk and create stronger retirement strategies,” says Pat Foley, CLU, ChFC, President, Individual Life and Financial Services at OneAmerica. "Promoting these products through ACSIA Partners LLC is an ideal way to help financial professionals offer the versatile solutions their clients are seeking.”
