FLTCIP Open Season Results

More than 48,000 Apply

Federal Long Term Care Partners has released the results of the 2011 Open Season for the Federal Long Term Insurance Program (FLTCIP), Long Term Care Partners recently said, which has been heralded “a complete success.” More than 45,000 individuals were approved for enrollment during the 2011 FLTCIP Open Season, bringing FLTCIP’s total enrollment to more than 270,000, an increase of 20 percent.

The majority of 2011 applicants ultimately opted for one of FLTCIP’s pre-packaged plans. The most popular plans were those with a Daily Benefit Amount of $150 or $200 per day and a Benefit Period of three years – a good match for the average national cost and duration of long term care services, Long Term Care said.
