What happens to a policy if an insurance provider goes out of business?

Companies don't just go out of business they are bought out by, assumed by or absorbed by another co and the policies are honored by that company. Likewise payments are made to the new co. If a LTCi or any insurance co should go out of business flat out, the policies would be honored by your states solvency fund.

∙ 6y agoThe answer below is generally correct but does not fully explain what happens. An insurer can be assumed by or merged with another. In either event, there is strict regulatory scrutiny given to the transaction to ensure that the policyholders do not get shortchanged. State insurance regulators are concerned that the assuming company has the financial wherewithal to pay claims and otherwise service the new policyholders. Typically, regulators of all states in which the insurers operate get involved, but those of the domiciliary states of the merging/assuming states take the lead.In contrast, if an insurer becomes financially insolvent (defined as the financial inability to pay claims as they accrue), the state regulatory may place it into liquidation, which is essentially the same as bankruptcy for any other business entity. If that happens, policyholders/claimants are notified and are allowed a fixed amount of time within which to make claims against the insurer. Claims may be paid through a guaranty fund administered by the state. Funds for the guaranty fund come from contributions that the insurer made during the time that it operated (to provide for this eventuality). If the insurance regulatory authority believes that the insurer can, despite financial problems, be rehabilitated, it may put the company into "rehabilitation." If that happens, either the state regulatory authority operates the company or it hires an outside management team to operate the company. During this period, an assessment will be made as to whether the company can continue to operate on its own (that is, that it has been rehabilitated). If not, it can be placed into liquidation as described above.
