Professional Case Management: May/June 2013 - Volume 18 - Issue 3 - p 107-109 doi: 10.1097/NCM.0b013e31828ad1c6 Buy Metrics Abstract Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI) was part of the CLASS Act, established by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Although this initiative is on hold, at least 70 percent of people over 65 will eventually need long-term care, either at home or in a nursing home, and that can be very expensive. This Editorial looks at the basics of LTCI. State-specific laws are applicable with LTCI. © 2013 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.
