Government Programs
Long Term Care Partnership policies are tax-qualified plans that include specific policyholder protections by federal law. These plans must present inflation protection, allowing benefits to increase against cost of care over time.
​
The LTC partnership program provides an option to spending down or transferring benefits by forming a relationship between Medicaid and private long term care insurers.
After private LTCi benefits are exhausted, specific Medicaid eligibility rules are applied if further coverage is needed.
