Once GE was at the helm of Genworth, the Long Term Care business was prioritized, with innovative policy features, competitive rates, and a large sales force. For this reason, Genworth is by far the largest provider of Long Term Care Insurance policies in the United States as of 2015, and continues to grow its book of business.

At LTC Tree, we’ve sold thousands of LTC policies from many carriers, Genworth included. Our experience with client claims has been consistent with the industry. We have seen no difference between Genworth or any of the other blue-chip companies offering long term care policies in paying claims. They all have paid fast from our experience. The Long Term Care policy language is specific in nature but sensible relative to the insurance industry.
