• Total Disability Benefit Periods: 3, 6, or 12 months
• Elimination Periods (Injury/Sickness): 0/7 days, 0/14

Note:  ACSIA Partners is not issuing any new policies at this time.  Existing policies are still in effect. This page will be updated when information on available long-term care benefits becomes available.


Long-term care is the term for helping people who develop disabilities or chronic care needs. For example, there may come a time when you or a loved one needs help walking, getting dressed, eating, or bathing. It also includes the kind of care you would need if you had a severe cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer's disease. Long-term care services may be brief with full recovery, or they can continue for years. Services may be provided in a person’s home, in a residential facility such as a nursing home or assisted living facility. 


A long-term care insurance policy will pay benefits for services you receive at home (such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, grooming and assistance with other activities of daily living), or in an assisted living facility and in a nursing home if a situation requires more intensive attention on a daily basis.

The CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield Point-of-Service Plans (POS) are managed care programs that require you to select a primary care physician (PCP). You must select a PCP and receive services from that PCP or a network specialist in order to receive in-network benefits. Under the POS, you may also choose to coordinate your own medical care and receive out-of-network benefits. The POS also offers a component plan that provides in- and out-of-network benefits if you reside outside the POS network service area. Active employees who reside outside the POS network service area may elect this “out of service area” component plan or remain in the “in service area” component. There are two POS plans offered – a High Option Plan and a Standard Option Plan. Prescription drug coverage is not included with either plan, but may be elected under a separate plan offered through Caremark. If Medicare is the primary coverage for you or any of your covered dependents, please refer to the separate CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield Medicare Supplemental Plan summary.
