Long Term Care Insurance
Many federal government employees are wondering what does the new Long Term Care Insurance program mean? I know that many of you have questions about the new program. According to the OPM Web site, the following questions are most frequently asked:
How much will Federal Long Term Care Insurance cost?
Can I get credit for my existing Long Term Care policy when I buy your Federal policy?
Do I really have to wait until October 2002?
Who is in the "Federal Family?"
Do you guarantee that the premiums will never increase?"
Should I drop my health insurance coverage (FEHB, TRICARE, etc.) when I enroll in this new Long Term Care Insurance program?
I'm a Federal employee caring for my mother who has Alzheimer's. How can this program help me? Her?
I've been waiting for this program ever since my father was diagnosed with dementia last year. I heard that your program will provide retroactive benefits to anyone whose need for long term care began on/after September 19, 2000, when the President signed the law. Is that true?
