Section 182-513-1400 - Long-term care (LTC) partnership program (index)

Under the long-term care (LTC) partnership program, people who purchase qualified long-term care partnership insurance policies can apply for long-term care medicaid under special rules for determining financial eligibility. These special rules generally allow the person to protect assets up to the insurance benefits received from a partnership policy so that such assets will not be taken into account in determining financial eligibility for long-term care medicaid and will not subsequently be subject to estate recovery for medicaid and long-term care services paid. The Washington long-term care partnership program is effective on December 1, 2011.

The following rules govern long-term care eligibility under the long-term care partnership program:
