Pacific Life is a product provider. It is not a fiduciary and therefore does not give advice or make recommendations regarding insurance or investment products.

Life insurance products, with long-term care benefits, are subject to underwriting and approval of the application and may include obtaining records from a physician. No medical exam is required, but a Medical Information Bureau (MIB) and prescription report will be ordered and a Personal History Interview and Cognitive Assessment will be performed via telephone as part of the underwriting process.

Life Insurance products with long-term care benefits are intended to provide federally tax-qualified long-term care insurance as defined in IRC Section 7702B(b). Tax treatment of long-term care benefits may depend on factors such as the amount of benefits in relation to certain IRS limitations (referred to as "per diem" limitations), the amount of qualified expenses incurred or if similar benefits are being received under other contracts. When benefits are received from multiple policies providing long-term care for a given insured, including policies with different owners, those benefits must be aggregated to determine their taxability. Pacific Life cannot determine whether the benefits are taxable. Clients are advised to consult with qualified and independent legal and tax advisors for more information.

Long-Term Care Benefits are reduced by any policy distributions (loans or terminal illness benefit). Death Proceeds and Return of Premium Benefit will also be reduced by any policy distributions and Long-Term Care Benefits.

Exclusions, Exceptions, and Limitations: Pacific Life will not pay benefits for care or services: 1) provided by the Insured’s Immediate Family unless he or she is a regular employee of an organization which is providing the treatment, service or care; and the organization receives the payment for the treatment, service or care; or provided by the Insured’s Immediate Family unless the Indemnity Benefit Option is in effect and benefits are being paid for Home and Community Care; 2) for which no charge is normally made in the absence of insurance; 3) provided outside the United States of America except as provided under the Indemnity Option's International Benefit; 4) that result from an attempt at suicide (while sane or insane) or an intentionally self-inflicted injury; 5) that result from alcoholism or drug addiction; 6) that result from committing or attempting to commit or participating in a felony, riot or insurrection; 7) provided in a government facility (unless otherwise required by law); 8) for which benefits are available under Medicare (including amounts that would be reimbursable but for the application of a deductible or coinsurance amount) or other governmental program (except Medicaid), any state or federal workers’ compensation, employer’s liability or occupational disease law, or any motor vehicle no-fault law. No benefits will be paid for services received while the Accelerated Benefit Rider (ABR) and the Extended Benefit Riders (EBR) for Long-Term Care are not in effect.

Pacific Life Insurance Company is licensed to issue insurance products in all states except New York. Product availability and features may vary by state. Insurance products and their guarantees, including optional benefits and any crediting rates, are backed by the financial strength and claims‐paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Look to the strength of the life insurance company with regard to such guarantees as these guarantees are not backed by the broker‐dealer, insurance agency, or their affiliates from which products are purchased. Neither these entities nor their representatives make any representation or assurance regarding the claims‐paying ability of the life insurance company.

The company(ies) referenced above, and its associates, are not affilated with Pacific Life. Pacific Life offers its products through independent third-party life insurance producers who may be appointed with multiple insurance carriers, which may include Pacific Life.

Pacific Life Insurance Company’s Home Office is located in Newport Beach, CA.
