• Alabama licensed resident insurance producers renewing a license with long-term care authority
• Producers who need 8 approved hours toward the 24-hour Alabama requirement
• Agents who want current, practical knowledge of these coverages — not filler credit
• New producers building a working foundation in this coverage area
• Experienced agents refreshing before a renewal deadline
• Agency staff who support producers and want the same technical grounding

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the State Requirement?

This course provides 8 approved credit hours toward the 24-hour Alabama continuing education requirement. It does not by itself satisfy the full renewal requirement, and it does not satisfy the 3-hour ethics requirement. Alabama places no classroom minimum on producer continuing education, so a self-paced course like this one may be used for any portion of the 24 hours.

✅ Alabama Continuing Education Requirements

Alabama resident insurance producers complete 24 hours of Alabama-approved continuing education during each two-year reporting period, and 3 of those hours must be ethics. Alabama is one of the more flexible states on delivery method: the Department places no classroom minimum on producer CE, so all 24 hours may be completed through self-study courses that include a monitored final examination with a passing score of 70 percent. Alabama does not require you to mail certificates to the Department — approved providers report completions electronically, and it is the licensee's responsibility to confirm the hours posted before renewing.

• 24 credit hours of Alabama-approved continuing education per two-year reporting period
• 3 of those 24 hours must be ethics; the remaining 21 may be in any approved line
• No classroom minimum — all 24 hours may be self-study with a 70% final examination
• Producers who work only in their employer's office and hold no non-resident license elsewhere have a reduced requirement of 12 hours, including 2 ethics hours
• Certificates do not need to be mailed to the Department; approved providers report completions electronically
• Allow at least 3–5 business days for completions to post before you attempt to renew

How this course helps: This 8-hour course provides 8 approved credit hours toward the 24 hours Alabama requires for each two-year reporting period. It applies as general credit and does not satisfy the separate 3-hour ethics requirement, so at least 16 additional hours — including your 3 ethics hours — must be completed separately.

✅ When Do Licensees Renew?

Alabama insurance producer licenses are renewed on a biennial cycle, and the continuing education reporting period runs with that cycle. Confirm your exact expiration date on your license record or on the renewal notice the Department sends, because the deadline is tied to your individual license rather than to a single statewide date. Finish your hours early: the Department notes that it takes at least 3 to 5 business days for completion information to post before a renewal can be processed.

✅ How to Renew Your License

Step 1: Confirm your license type, lines and expiration date

Pull your license record and note whether you are a full producer subject to 24 hours or an office-only producer subject to 12.

Step 2: Check the hours already posted for this reporting period

Alabama expects you to track your own credit. Review what has posted before you buy anything new so you do not repeat a course.

Step 3: Complete 24 hours, including 3 ethics hours

Finish the full requirement, making sure the ethics hours come from courses approved in the ethics category.

Step 4: Finish at least a week early so credits can post

Allow at least 3 to 5 business days after completion for the information to reach the Department's database. Do not leave it to the final day.

Step 5: Verify your credit before you renew

Confirm every course posted with the correct hours and category. Renewal will not process if the record shows you short.

Step 6: Renew your license and pay the fee

Submit the renewal through the licensing system before your expiration date and pay the renewal fee.

Step 7: Save your certificates

Keep your completion certificates on file in case the Department asks you to substantiate your hours, and confirm your license shows active with a new expiration date.

✅ What You Will Learn

• What long-term care is, who needs it, and what it costs in a range of settings
• How long-term care policies are structured: benefit triggers, pools and elimination periods
• Inflation protection options and the long-term effect of choosing or declining them
• How Qualified State Long-Term Care Partnership programs provide Medicaid asset disregard
• Which policies qualify for Partnership status and how reciprocity works between states
• Suitability standards, replacement rules and required consumer disclosures

✅ Course Content Overview

Hour 1 – Purpose, Scope and Foundations of LTC and Partnership Programs

What long-term care is and the policy problem it addresses. Covers the NAIC Long-Term Care Model Act and Regulation, the federal framework behind the Partnership program, the stakeholders involved, and the training expectations for the initial eight-hour course and the ongoing four-hour refresher.

Hour 2 – Medicaid Eligibility, Spend-Down and Partnership Asset Disregards

Medicaid financial eligibility and the spend-down pathways a family faces without coverage. Covers the Partnership asset disregard and the difference between dollar-for-dollar and total-asset models, estate recovery, and the role of state Medicaid agencies together with the consumer disclosures Partnership policies require.

Hour 3 – LTC Insurance Basics: Policy Types, Benefits and Triggers

Traditional stand-alone policies contrasted with hybrid designs, and the benefit triggers — activities of daily living and cognitive impairment — that start a claim. Covers benefit amount, benefit period and elimination period design, the care settings and services covered, inflation protection options, and the optional features worth considering.

Hour 4 – Consumer Protections, Suitability and Ethical Sales to Older Adults

Required disclosures and the suitability standards that apply to every LTC sale. Covers ethical communication with seniors in clear language, replacement rules and how to compare existing coverage while preserving accrued benefits, prevention of unfair trade practices and elder financial abuse, and proper complaint handling.

Hour 5 – Underwriting, Pricing, Rate Stability and Claims

Medical underwriting basics and the premium factors that drive cost. Covers rate stability concepts and why increases occur, the options available to a policyholder facing a premium increase, and the claims process from notice of claim through care coordination, case management and the role of licensed practitioners.

Hour 6 – Tax Treatment, HIPAA-Qualified LTC and Coordination of Benefits

HIPAA tax-qualified LTC contracts and the requirements for benefit eligibility. Covers federal and common state tax treatment of premiums and benefits, interactions with Medicare, coordination with private health insurance, the coordination issues that arise with hybrids and multiple policies, and documentation practices for these discussions.

Hour 7 – Planning Integration, Affordability Strategies and Caregiver Dynamics

Integrating long-term care with retirement and estate planning, including realistic funding sources. Covers affordability levers such as adjusting benefit period, daily benefit and elimination period; household and caregiver considerations including respite benefits; plain-language trade-off discussions; responses to post-issue health changes; and building an annual review cadence.

Hour 8 – State Nuances, Advertising and Market Conduct, and Capstone Case Studies

State-specific Partnership nuances including reciprocity, and what counts as advertising under market conduct rules. Covers documentation mastery from needs-analysis summary through file retention, elder-justice safeguards and red-flag recognition, applied case studies with written rationales, and a final compliance checklist for Partnership sales.
