State Long-Term Care Partnership Insurer Reporting Requirements

This paper outlines the specific data elements that long-term care insurance participating in a State Partnership for Long-Term Care must provide to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This system of records is required by the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. Federal regulations supporting these data requirements were published in the Federal Register on December 18, 2008.
