New York just approved CC3 and it will be available for sale on 9/19. Software is not yet available, but I'd guess rates are going to be 10%-20% higher than CC2 Enhanced.
CC2 insured to age 84
CC3 insures to age 79
CC2 had a 5% Simple inflation rider
CC3 does not offer a 5% Simple, but they added a CPI to age 75, (making a bogus inflation rider even more bogus)
CC2 allowed for licensed, independent caregivers
CC3 will only allow for independent caregivers if the policyholder lives more than 40 miles from a licensed home health care agency and in that case, will only pay 75% of the benefit
On the Eliminaion Period:
CC2 had 1 Service Day equals 7 days towards satisfying the Elimination Period
CC3 has 1 Service Day equals 1 day toward satisfying the Elimination Period
(I do not believe there's a Calendar-Day option)
CC2 had a Waiver of Elimination Period for Home Care as a rider at 9% additional premium
CC3 has the rider available at 15% additional
CC2 offered a spousal/partner discount if only one spouse/partner applied
CC3 Offers no discount offered unless both spouses/partners apply, are approved and accepted
