Missouri's Long Term Care Partnership is a public - private venture designed to encourage and reward Missourians who take an active role in planning ahead for future long-term care needs. Partnerships are an alliance between the private insurance industry and state government to help Missourians plan for future needs without depleting all of their assets to pay for care. The future demand for long-term care services is expected to rise. Missourians need to plan ahead to ensure that the widest array and highest quality of services will be available to them.
Missouri looks forward to launching its partnership on August 1, 2008. Partnership policies can be purchased after this date.
