Long Term Care Insurance Explained

Dedicated Buffalo estate planning lawyer Robert Friedman discusses long term care insurance and what’s important to know about long-term care in New York in this educational video.

Long-term care insurance is highly recommended for a number of reasons. Medicaid laws are constantly changing, and eligibility requirements are often tightened. Because of these regular changes, individuals should obtain this long-term care insurance while they still qualify and are healthy. Also, while long-term care insurance covers in-home care, assisted living, and nursing home care, Medicaid does not cover most types of assisted living, and it is limited to in-home care. Under the New York Partnership Program of Long-Term Care Insurance, after the benefit’s drawn over three years, eligibility for Medicaid is automatic regardless of the amount of one’s assets. Discussing long-term care insurance with one’s legal advisors can help to prepare in case of significant medical need.
