Question 3 of 12 in Basics |
Who pays for long term care? |
 |
About half of all long term care expense is paid by state Medicaid programs. About one-third is paid out of pocket by individuals and their families. Medicare only provides for some skilled care in some limited situations. Neither Medicare supplemental insurance nor major medical coverage provided by most companies pays for long term care. This leaves approximately one sixth of the total cost to be covered by other government programs and private insurance. |
