Summary
Medicaid; public-private long-term care partnership program.
Requires the Board of Medical Assistance Services to include, in the state
plan for medical assistance services, a provision, when authorized by and in
compliance with federal law, to establish a public-private long-term care
partnership program between the Commonwealth of Virginia and private insurance
companies that must be designed to reduce Medicaid costs for long-term care by
delaying or eliminating dependence on Medicaid for such services through
encouraging the purchase of private long-term care insurance policies designated
by the Department as "qualified state long-term care insurance partnerships"
that may be used as the first source of benefits for the participant's
long-term care. The components of the program, including the treatment of assets
for Medicaid eligibility and estate recovery, must be structured in accordance
with federal law and applicable federal guidelines. A second enactment clause requires
DMAS to collaborate with the Department of Human Resource Management to
encourage state employees to participate in the partnership program. View Full Text »
