✅ Does This Course Satisfy the State Requirement?

This course is designed to satisfy the one-time initial long-term care insurance training required before selling long-term care products, and it provides 8 approved credit hours toward the 24-hour Utah renewal total. It does not satisfy the full renewal requirement or the 3-hour ethics requirement. Utah limits self-study to 12 of the 24 required hours, so confirm your classroom and classroom-equivalent balance before relying on self-paced coursework.

✅ Utah Continuing Education Requirements

Utah resident insurance producers complete 24 credit hours of Utah-approved continuing education during each two-year licensing period, including 3 hours of ethics. Utah is one of the states that limits self-paced study: at least half of the required hours — 12 of 24 — must be classroom or classroom-equivalent instruction, which means no more than 12 hours may be completed through home-study courses. Under the Department's rule, a course counts as classroom only when it involves two-way interaction with the instrument of instruction and student monitoring; a self-paced course without that interaction is home study. Excess hours do not carry over.

• 24 credit hours of Utah-approved continuing education per two-year licensing period
• 3 of those 24 hours must be ethics courses; the remaining 21 may be in any line of insurance
• At least 12 of the 24 hours must be classroom or classroom-equivalent instruction
• No more than 12 hours may be home study, which is the category most self-paced online courses fall into
• No more than 12 hours may come from courses provided by insurers
• Excess hours cannot be carried over to the next licensing period
• Title insurance producers have a reduced requirement of 12 hours, including 3 ethics hours

How this course helps: This 8-hour course is the one-time initial long-term care training a producer completes before selling, soliciting or negotiating long-term care insurance, and it covers the Qualified State Long-Term Care Partnership content that training must include. It also provides 8 approved credit hours toward your 24-hour Utah renewal total. It does not satisfy the separate 3-hour ethics requirement, and ongoing long-term care training is still required in each later cycle. Because Utah requires at least 12 of the 24 hours to be classroom or classroom-equivalent, this self-paced course counts against the 12-hour self-study allowance — plan the rest of your hours accordingly.

✅ When Do Licensees Renew?

Utah individual producer licenses renew every two years and expire in the licensee's birth month. Continuing education must be complete before the renewal will process — and Utah goes a step further than most states: all CE must be posted by the provider before a renewal can be processed, not merely completed. Providers have up to 14 days to post a completion, so finishing coursework in the final two weeks before expiration puts the renewal at risk. Electronic renewal is available until 10:00 p.m. Mountain time on the expiration date. There is no grace period, though a one-year reinstatement window follows expiration.

✅ How to Renew Your License

Step 1: Confirm your expiration date and license type

Utah individual licenses expire in your birth month every two years. Confirm the exact date and the lines of authority on your license record.

Step 2: Check your classroom versus home-study balance

Pull your Utah CE transcript and count how many of your posted hours are classroom or classroom-equivalent. You need at least 12 in that category, so identify the gap early.

Step 3: Complete the 24 hours, including 3 ethics hours

Finish all required coursework, making sure the ethics requirement is satisfied by courses approved in the ethics category.

Step 4: Finish at least three weeks early so credits can post

Providers have up to 14 days to post completions and Utah will not process a renewal until the credit appears. Build in that buffer deliberately.

Step 5: Verify the transcript before renewing

Review your continuing education transcript for the applicable review period and confirm every course posted with the right hours and category.

Step 6: Renew online and pay the fee

Complete the renewal through the licensing system the Department directs licensees to, before 10:00 p.m. Mountain time on the expiration date, and pay the renewal fee.

Step 7: Keep your proof on file

Utah requires producers to retain proof of completion and may audit CE hours by mail. Save your certificates 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.
