Learn how your organization can benefit from long-term care coverage. 

What is Long-Term Care Coverage?

Long-term care coverage is designed to meet health or personal needs when you are unable to care for yourself due to chronic illness, injury, or the effects of aging. Services can be provided in different places, including your home, a nursing care facility, or a community-based facility like an adult daycare center. Long-term care coverage isn’t a replacement for healthcare. Instead, it provides coverage if you cannot perform activities of daily living like bathing, dressing and using the bathroom.

Legislative Impact on Long-Term Care 

Increasing demand and rising costs of long-term care have many states considering adding a payroll tax to fund public programs to ease the strain of Medicaid. Washington State was the first state to implement a tax; many other states are considering it. Organizations with employees in these states have two options: collect taxes or offer a long-term care solution that directly benefits employees and may provide an exemption from the payroll tax.

Aon’s long-term care task force is closely monitoring state legislation nationwide and can help organizations put a plan in place proactively to protect their employees.
