What Is the New York State Partnership for Long-Term Care?

The New York State Partnership for Long-Term Care program is designed to assist the residents of New York in planning for the cost of long-term care. The Partnership program combines private Long-Term Care Insurance with Medicaid Extended Coverage to provide New Yorkers a lifetime of long-term care benefits.

How can you benefit by purchasing a Partnership policy?

By purchasing long-term care insurance that meets the State’s minimum requirements, you become eligible for a special Medicaid program called “Medicaid Extended Coverage.” With this program, your long-term care is covered without requiring you to use up your assets.  Essentially, you have arranged for lifetime care.

What makes Partnership policies different from other long-term care insurance policies?

  • Lifetime Coverage – Use of Medicaid Extended Coverage when the private policy benefits are exhausted results in a lifetime of coverage for long-term care.
  • A variety of health-care options,  including nursing homes, assisted living, home care, and hospice care
  • Inflation Protection – built in at 5% per year
  • Guaranteed renewable regardless of health changes
