STATE OF ARIZONA
LONG-TERM CARE INSURANCE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
INSURER CERTIFICATION FORM
The State of Arizona has implemented a Long-Term Care Insurance Partnership Program (the “Partnership
Program”) as authorized by the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (“DRA”), which provides that an Arizona
resident who purchases a long-term care insurance policy that meets federal consumer protection and inflation
protection requirements (a “Partnership Policy”) is subject to special rules for determining financial eligibility
for long-term care Medicaid assistance.
The Arizona Insurance Director will certify whether a long-term care insurance policy qualifies as a Partnership
Policy, based on the information an insurer provides in this Insurer Certification Form. Insurers must use this
form when requesting certification for any policy, whether it is: (i) a previously approved policy; (ii) a new
policy submitted for first time approval; and, (iii) policies exempt from filing under the 2003 Director’s Order.
