RADNOR, Pa., March 14, 2022 – Lincoln Financial Group announced today that as part of its commitment to enhancing the customer experience, policy holders with the company’s long-term care planning solutions will soon have access to enhanced digital capabilities, including functionality that will allow them to track their claim status online.
