The New York State Partnership for Long-Term Care (NYSP) was implemented in April 1993. Called the partnership program, New York's total-assets protection model requires a three-year policy for nursing home care and a six-year policy for home care — or some combination thereof — and Medicaid extended coverage once the private insurance benefit expires, with total-asset protection.
The project was part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's (RWJF) national Program to Promote Long-Term Care Insurance for the Elderly.
Key Results
As of mid-2000, 27,903 NYSP policies were in effect (representing an increase of 197 percent over four years), and 14 insurers were participating in the partnership program.
Funding
RWJF provided $320,730 for planning, $2,044,017 for implementation, and $407,697 for communications.
