2011 LONG-TERM CARE
LACERA-SPONSORED LONG-TERM CARE PLAN UNDERWRITTEN BY METLIFE
ATTENTION: In November 2010, MetLife announced it will no longer sell long-term care insurance policies after December 31, 2010. However, the carrier is required to provide a 90-day notice of its intention to discontinue the sale of long-term care policies.
For LACERA members and dependents who currently have a policy through the LACERA-sponsored plan, your policy will remain the same. LACERA will actively search for a new long-term care provider.

PPA: PSO INFORMATION:
Pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), eligible Public Safety Officers who wish to have LACERA make direct payments to their LACERA-sponsored MetLife long-term care plans must contact the carriers directly to authorize the necessary payment agreement. LACERA does not administer the long-term care program and cannot initiate direct payments on premiums for these plans until the policyholder contacts the carrier and establishes a direct payment arrangement.
