Abstract: In late 1980's, number of State Medicaid programs began to work with private insurance companies to create a bridge between Medicaid and private insurance for long-term care. The result was the establishment of State Long-Term Care Partnership Programs that provide for expanded access to Medicaid by allowing private long-term care insurance policyholders to keep additional assets when financial eligibility under the Medicaid program is determined.
