SOUDERTON, Pa., June 17, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- United Security Assurance Company of Pennsylvania (USA) is excited to announce that they are now offering their LifeStyle Solutions^SM (LSS) and LifeStyle Solutions Select^SM (LSS Select), tax-qualified, LTC Partnership certified, pool of money long term care insurance plans in the state of Maryland.

Currently available in 18 states, the LSS and LSS Select plans expand traditional underwriting guidelines and offer individuals who have previously been or who would otherwise be turned down for long term care insurance the opportunity to obtain coverage. "This is good news especially for individuals with more severe health conditions, such as Cystic Fibrosis, Diabetes, Cancer, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, or even Osteoporosis," according to Bob Haldeman, founder and President of Coventry. "We are so pleased to now offer these cutting-edge products to the citizens of our home state."

These flagship products were created and designed by USA's sister company, Coventry CareLink (Coventry). In 1987, Coventry began working on an experimental initiative to combine the availability of both senior services and the financial protection of long term care insurance into a product that could provide an option to older adults who were living beyond the walls of continuing care retirement communities. At the heart of the LSS and LSS Select plans is a special focus on pro-active wellness. This approach stemmed from a collaboration with Johns Hopkins Geriatrics and is a unique feature of these plans.

At no extra cost, both the LSS and LSS Select products offer an exclusive Service Program providing: a) a program of proactive wellness planning; b) a consultation and referral resource to help policy holders access support and services they may need; and c) care planning for when more intensive needs arise. These services are 100% voluntary and aimed at helping individuals live longer. When combined with quality long term care, individuals may be able to stay independent for many years.

"It's our hope that these plans will enable our producers/agents to penetrate new markets and offer more of their clients the chance to have long term care insurance coverage," says Chris Coady, Senior Marketing Director. "USA offers a full portfolio of long term care insurance products that include non-tax and tax-qualified long term care plans and stand-alone home healthcare plans."
