What does supplemental or long-term care insurance cover?
Insurance coverage is available to cover certain costs of nursing facility care. Some plans will supplement Medicare or Medicaid coverage and cover expenses beyond what these plans cover. Others pay for a portion of the daily expense for a set amount of days in a nursing facility.

If you or your family member has such insurance coverage, bring a copy of the policy to the attention of the nursing facility. You can then work with the administrative staff and discuss how they want to file claims to receive the best benefits.
