Section 1: What is Long-Term Care Insurance?
- What is LTC Insurance? Long-term care insurance is a private pay insurance that individuals may have purchased earlier in their lives to help offset the cost of long term care.
- Coverages: It is designed to provide future benefits to cover long-term care services like home care, assisted living, adult day care, and skilled nursing.
- Benefit Period: The policy's coverage, benefit amount, and duration vary based on the chosen plan.
- Eligibility: Eligibility for utilizing the benefits usually requires assistance with at least two activities of daily living.
- Elimination Period: There is typically an elimination period during which the individual pays for services out of pocket before the benefits become active.
- Direct Payments vs. Assignment of Benefits: Long-term care insurance policies may have direct payment to the policyholder or assign benefits to the care provider.
Section 2: How to Bill for Long-Term Care Insurance
1. Discuss Long-Term Care Insurance:
- Inquire if the individual or their family has long-term care insurance.
- Inform them about the potential coverage for services like adult day care.

3. Claims Process:
- Once the elimination period is completed, instruct the policyholder to file a claim for the services.
- Request information from the insurance company regarding the monthly reporting and claim submission requirements.
- Prepare the necessary documents, such as care logs and care notes, to be attached to the invoices.
- Submit the invoices along with the report, providing a breakdown of the services provided and the corresponding time and dates.
4. Payment:
- Ensure that direct payment is set up with the family rather than relying on an assignment of benefits.
- Specify the preferred method of payment, such as electronic transfer or check.
- Clarify the payment terms, including the payment frequency and any specific deadlines for submission.
