What is Long Term Care Insurance?

Long-term care is not simply nursing facility care for the elderly. Long-term care insurance coverage encompasses a variety of services available to people who need assistance with the ordinary activities of daily living. Services can include help with grocery shopping, meal preparation, housework, and / or managing bills. If a higher level of care is desired, CNA can arrange help with bathing, dressing, eating. Finally, thanks to the advances in medical technology and care delivery options, over 80% of all long-term care services are provided today in individual homes, assisted living facilities, adult day care, or adult foster care centers.

Why Consider Long Term Care Insurance?

  • Group Medical and Medicare do not likely cover you
  • Convenience of payroll deduction for employees and spouses
  • Several plan options to select from to meet your needs
  • Premiums do not increase simply because you age
  • Portable coverage

Who is Eligible for Long Term Care Coverage?

  1. Employees: Newly eligible employees may enroll in the long-term care plan within 60-days from their date of hire by completing the Employee Enrollment Form found in the CNA enrollment kit. Employees enrolling within 60-days from their date of hire are guaranteed acceptance - there are no medical questions. After the initial 60-day eligibility period has expired, employees will be required to submit a Short Form Application before being accepted into the plan.
  2. Spouse: An employee's spouse may apply for long-term care coverage at any time by completing the Short Form Application found in the CNA enrollment kit. Coverage is not guaranteed. Coverage is subject to CNA underwriting approval.
