Long Term Care provider sent 1099-MISC after stopping the policy

Hello,  we got a letter from our long term care provider saying that we could either pay more per month or end the policy and they would pay us a certain amount of money.  We chose to end the policy and received the money from the company.  They issued us a 1099-MISC form for that amount.  Do we have to pay taxes on that amount even though we have paid monthly premiums for 20 years?

 

Thanks
