CANCER, HEART ATTACK & STROKE
"I'm still protected..."
Mary (spouse) 02/2009
“In January, 2005, my husband and I purchased a Cancer-Heart-Stroke policy from
Platinum Services. (My husband) owned his own business and knew the importance
of replacement income if he ever got sick and couldn’t run his business. In
September 2007, he started suffering multiple strokes and was in and out of the
hospital several times for 3 months until passing away in December. We collected
over $50,000 from our Platinum CHS policy. I used the money to pay for extra
medical expenses and travel costs. The rest of the money was used as income
because the family business was forced to be closed during this time. The agents
and customer service people at Platinum Services were very helpful during our
difficult time. I especially liked that even though we had a very large claim I
wasn’t dropped from coverage – so I’m still protected if something were to
happen to me.”
"With the Return of Premium feature it just seemed to make a lot of sense..."
Jackie (spouse) 03/2009
“We bought our policy back on July 27th, 2006.
We already had a cancer policy and heart policy with another company yet
Platinum’s gave us a lot more benefits for the same cost. Neither (my husband)
or I had any cancer in our families, but more heart and stroke issues. To our
surprise, as early as April 1, 2007 (my husband) was diagnosed with leukemia. We
had friends that used a similar program and with the Return of Premium feature
it just seemed to make a lot of sense. Our purpose was financial protection
against the non-medical costs, yet being able to get your money back made it a
wise business decision. Even though my husband passed within 3 months we were
blessed to receive over $28,000 in claims. Customer service was very helpful and
I would recommend Platinum Services to everyone. You just don’t know when
something like this could happen.”
"A true lifesaver..."
Carol (spouse) Iowa 06/2009
“We enrolled in the Cancer Heart and Stroke policy with Platinum Services in 2006. We actually had coverage with another company but
Platinum’s policy gave us much better coverage, had more advantages and was more affordable. We were hoping to never use the coverage,
unfortunately my husband had a stroke just a few months later. We received our money in a timely manner and Platinum Services was
wonderful to deal with. We were very glad we took advantage when we did. This policy was a true lifesaver. I work in accounts receivable for a
corporation that owns thirty nursing homes. Every time I deal with Platinum Services it is a good experience. We recommend this to
everyone!”
"A big help financially..."
John (spouse) 06/2009
“We purchased our cancer policy in May of 2006. We thought it was smart with the policy being so affordable and also having a history of
cancer in our families. We did have good health insurance but after retiring it had changed about three times on us. We just weren’t sure how
well we were covered. When I went in for my physical in July, my PSI was just up 1 point but we were sent to a urologist anyway.
Good thing, because just a couple of days after we were covered with our policy, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The benefits were a
big help financially. We had 42 trips to the hospital 32 miles away for radiation treatments. We received more than $11,000 and feel fortunate
to still be covered if cancer were to ever come back. Because of so much non-medical costs associated with cancer we would strongly advise
everyone to get one of these great Platinum Services programs at some level!”
LONG-TERM CARE
"Planning ahead is key and the younger you are, the more savings…"
Bill (spouse) 05/2009
“We purchased our policy back in October of 2001, knowing that costs of
long-term care can be catastrophic. We really liked being able to get our money
back through the Return of Premium feature. In November of 2007, my wife needed
to go to the Alzheimer Unit in Mattoon, Illinois. It’s been very easy collecting
on claims and every month since, we have received a check for approximately
$2,800. To date we have already received over $60,000.
It has really helped out with the costs! I’m glad we were wise and applied for
the policy when the agent showed it to us. The added money sure has been a
blessing and I’d recommend this program and Platinum Services to everyone.
Planning ahead is key and the younger you are, the more savings.”
"Over $125,000 in benefits..."
Leland (son) 02/2009
“My father purchased a Long-Term Care policy with Platinum Services in October
of 1996. He has always made good financial decisions and thought that this was a
very good plan that just might meet his needs some day. In March of 2004, he
went into the nursing home and the policy has paid him very well. To date he has
collected over $125,000 in benefits. The customer service people at Platinum
Services have been very helpful and easy to work with. I encourage anyone with
assets to protect to have long-term care insurance and would definitely
recommend Platinum Services.”
"$5,000 for all of Frank's premiums..."
Arliss (spouse) 06/2009
“My husband and I purchased our Long-Term Care Insurance with Platinum Services in May of 1998. Our reason for buying Long-Term
Insurance was we wanted to pass our farm down to our kids, because the nursing home costs would wipe us out!
We were fortunate that we did not need to use the benefits, but (my husband) passed away in 2003 and I got a check for $5,000
for all of the premiums he paid in for 5 years! The check was truly a blessing for it came at a good time when I wasn’t expecting it.
I would recommend Platinum Services to anyone who is looking for Long-Term Care Insurance.”
"Very helpful in processing the claims..."
Marion (spouse) 03/2009
“We purchased Long-Term Care policies issued on 01-10-2005. (My wife) later had
cancer and had to have home health care and went into the nursing home before
she passed away on 01-11-08. Platinum Services was very helpful in processing
the claims and sending our checks. I would recommend doing business with
Platinum Services. I recently purchased a Cancer, Heart Attack & Stroke policy
because I wish we would have had it for my wife. It would have really helped
with the trip we took to Mayo Clinic after it was discovered she had internal
cancer, that in the beginning just showed up as a rash. I would encourage
everyone to take advantage of these programs because they have no idea how
expensive this type of care can be.”
RETURN OF PREMIUM
"Dealing with a company that is so helpful and caring made this a lot easier..."
Rebecca (spouse) Wisconsin
04/2009
“We bought the LTC policy in 2005. We were hoping to never use this policy. We felt we needed the protection and liked the peace of mind.
My husband passed away in 2009 of pancreatic cancer. I was very satisfied with the way Platinum and GTL handled my questions and
problems. This was a very hard time for my family and dealing with a company that’s so helpful and caring made this a lot easier. The people
I dealt with were very respectful and courteous. I would recommend this company to anyone.”
"We took out Long-Term Care Coverage to protect our assets..."
Darrell (spouse) Nebraska
06/2009
“We took out Long-Term Care Coverage to protect our assets back in 2007. My wife died of breast cancer in 2009. I received a check back
from GTL for all of her premiums less the claim for the Hospice Care that she received under the policy. It was nice to get a surprise back
from the company. A nice check. I wish my wife was still here but she’s not! Also, I only need to pay my premium for another 8 years and
I will have a paid up policy, another nice benefit under this policy. I would highly recommend this policy to all people who are looking for
long-term care coverage. Thank you GTL.”
"I would recommend this policy to anyone..."
Karen (spouse) Iowa
03/2009
“We bought our Long-Term Care policies back in 2002. I was surprised at how quickly our policies got to us. We thought buying Long-Term
Care was a good idea because we had to put our father in a nursing home and he was there for four years and we could see how expensive
the care was. What we really liked about the policy was if we didn’t use it our premiums would be refunded back to us. Unfortunately,
my husband passed away, and I got all of his premiums back. Platinum Services was excellent in dealing with them and I would recommend
this policy to anyone. Especially because Platinum Services, honored the Return of Premium Rider, which was added to our Long-Term Care
policies.”
