Long Term Care

When can I make changes to my coverage?

Answer:

You may request a change in your coverage at any time, by contacting Long Term Care Partners.

If you wish to increase your coverage, you must provide, at your expense, evidence of your good health that is satisfactory to Long Term Care Partners.

You may decrease your coverage to any amount available under the Program, and your premiums (which will be based on your original age) will also decrease. You do not have to undergo new underwriting in order to decrease your coverage.

To request a change in your coverage, contact Long Term Care Partners by phone at 1-800-LTCFEDS (1-800-582-3337), or in writing at Long Term Care Partners, PO Box 797, Greenland, NH 03840-0797.
