*** Optimize your CBA Membership: Savings for Long-Term Care Insurance
To offer CBA members the best possible benefits, the CBA has partnered with LTC Global to offer a discounted Long-Term Care Insurance program. Often, standard health plans and Medicare pay very little, if any, of the cost associated with long term care. This leaves the burden on you and your family to pay for health care. This program provides a discount to all members, their extended family and their staff. To learn more about this important coverage, call 1(888) 305-4LTC(4582) or e-mail nblakley@ltcglobal.com to speak with a licensed representative.
