Health Insurance/Dental Coverage
Private insurance companies, government programs and public/private partnership programs that issue individual and group insurance plans or policies which pay for nursing facility care, home health care, adult day health care, respite care, hospice care and/or home modifications to eliminate barriers for people who are chronically ill. Long-term care policies cover all levels of care including skilled, intermediate and custodial. Benefits may be triggered when an individual's doctor orders care, when s/he has some cognitive impairment or if s/he is unable to perform certain activities of daily living independently such as bathing, dressing, eating and toileting. A limited number of states participate in public/private partnerships which have provisions to protect participants from becoming impoverished in order to become eligible for Medicaid long-term care benefits.
Medicare Insurance Supplements
Organizations that offer insurance policies which pay for some health care costs that are not covered by Medicare. These generally include Medicare deductibles and co-payments, but not long-term care.
