CAHIP Long Term Care White Paper

Just for Members: CAHIP’s Long Term Care (LTC) Insurance Policy White Paper

In accordance with AB 567, the Long Term Care Insurance Task Force presented its final actuarial report on December 18, 2023. That report will likely guide California’s legislature as it considers future legislation pertaining to long term care insurance in 2024. To ensure agents have a seat at this table, we at CAHIP created our own LTC task force to monitor and participate in the Task Force's work. After 23 meetings, hours of hearings and more hours of internal deliberation, we have compiled a thoughtful briefing on the issue from the lens of agents.

This document will be used by CAHIP to inform forthcoming legislative discussions on long term care legislation.

We wanted to provide it to you as a resource to summarize this complex policy effort with thoughtful recommendations from agents.

Medicare Corner: Latest News and Updates

Part B Delays Throughout the Nation - Apply Three Months Ahead to Avoid Effective Date Delays

by David Garcia, Co-Chair of CAHIP’S Medicare Committee

Our office receives calls from agents daily asking what can they do to speed up the process for their applicants receiving Part A and B benefits and get access to their Medicare number so they can have the effective date they requested for their Medicare Supplement plan.

A couple of interesting points worth noting:

California has more residents enrolled in Medicare compared to all other states by almost 2 million enrolled. California also has more than 10% of the US population aging into Medicare daily – more than 1,000 a day in California and 10,000 a day in the nation.

Because of this, California SSA offices are impacted more than other states and some counties in CA are suffering greater staffing shortages than others.
