A
plan of care is the list of long term
care services and care you need, developed by your
Care
Coordinator or other
licensed health care practitioner in
conjunction with you and/or your family.
Many insurance plans will monitor and reassess your plan of care on a regular basis to
ensure it
continues to meet your needs and will make changes as necessary.
A plan of care can also address the
wide range of additional services available in the community to
help you meet your long term care needs.
Community-based
services include friendly visitor programs, home-delivered
meals, chore services, and
adult
day care centers. These additional
services may be reimbursed by long term care insurance.
The Federal Program offers
care coordination consultative services
provided by registered
nurses to enrollees and their
qualified relatives at no
additional cost.
Under certain circumstances, Care Coordinators can authorize benefits for services and care that
are not specifically defined as
covered services.
