DO long term care premiums count as a medical expense on CSS Profile?

<p>I see one can include medical and dental premium costs as medical expenses, but what about LTC insurance?</p>

<p>Or cost of various types of disability coverage?</p>

<p>I don’t believe so…LTC insurance and disability…I do not believe those would be “medical expenses” on the Profile. Neither is life insurance.</p>

<p>Well, as LTC premiums are deductible for tax purposes, I wonder if they might qualify here too:</p>

<p>Medical care expenses include the insurance premiums you paid for policies that cover medical care or for a qualified long-term care insurance policy covering qualified long-term care services.</p>
