BELLEVUE, WA., DEC 10, 2012—Long Term Care Associates, Inc. (LTCA) announced today its intention to recruit qualified producers to begin with the firm in 2013. LTCA's standards are among the industry's most rigorous, ensuring that consumers who work with an LTCA Specialist work only with the best.

"There are currently 40,000 insurance and financial professionals who market long-term care insurance," says Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for LTC Insurance, our industry trade group. By ranking LTCA's top producers within the group's Top 200 for the 4th consecutive year, LTCA has maintained its tradition of fielding agents among the nation's Top 1%.

Stephen D. Forman, LTCA's senior vice president, added, "Think of it as an open casting call. We don't know in advance how many producers will meet our standards, or where they will come from. We only know what we're looking for: veteran, high-caliber LTCi producers who want to play on the 'varsity-squad'. We are small in number, but highly-efficient. LTCA is all about white-glove service, superior expertise, best-in-class technology, and access to the nation's premier affinity groups and leads."

Candidates interested in aligning themselves with LTCA in 2013 should use this contact form, or speak with Robert Forman at 1-800-742-9444.
