Description: Chairperson's update on the Long-Term Care Insurance Section

Description: Rhode Island’s unique “global Medicaid waiver” pursues a potentially dangerous national policy trend: long-term care LTC rebalancing without strong eligibility controls. Resulting cost overruns could seriously damage the state’s social safety net. To maximize the global waiver’s opportunity, minimize its danger, and become a LTC financing model for the country, policy makers need to recognize the issues discussed in this report and pursue the recommended additional research and analysis.

Description: A discussion about the section’s accomplishments including research activities, professional development and benefits of being a member of the section.

Description: The LTCI Section Council Chairperson talks about the transition within the Council and the LTC newsletter editorial board as well as what type of tranistion the LTC insurance industry will make.

Description: A discussion of the efforts to implement straight through processing and standardization of the HIPAA form for long term care claims data.

Description: A question and answer session with Matt Capell, LTCG's Senior Vice President of Provider Solutions.

Description: At the 2012 ILTCI Conference in Las Vegas, a group of Long-term Care Industry professionals decided we wanted to do something a little bit different. We wanted the audience of our session, "Underwriting and Claims: From the Outside Looking In", to hear from the people who matter most to the LTC industry………our constituents. And we wanted the audience to have the opportunity to discuss issues with these constituents in an open, upfront format.

Description: Current Chairperson, Vincent Bodnar, provides a section update and outlines the need for innovative solutions to current LTCI concerns.
