Every carrier in this room is paying caregiving-related claims across disability, LTC, life, and health — they just don’t know it, because the word “caregiving” never appears on the claim. A disability claim from burnout. An LTC claim triggered by a fall that better support could have prevented. A life policy lapse from a sandwich-generation employee who stopped paying premiums. These hit different desks at the same carrier and nobody connects them. Caregiving is both a public health crisis and a mental health crisis — 53 million Americans are providing unpaid care, and the downstream effects are showing up in every line of business insurers touch. But the flip side is just as big: the caregiver is the most engaged, most motivated person in the household. They’re making decisions about benefits, coverage, and care every day. The carrier that builds a relationship with the caregiver — not just the patient — gets a retention and acquisition advantage that competitors can’t replicate with a better rate table. This session presents publicly available data (AARP’s $1 trillion economic impact, Harvard Business School’s 126% ROI on caregiver support) alongside real-world results from an active carrier partnership, showing how engaging the caregiver reduces claims costs for both the caregiver and their loved ones, improves customer experience, and creates a differentiation story in a market where every product looks the same.
