Since 2000, M-Pel has been providing group long term care insurance to current and former employees and their spouses in the three branches of Minnesota state government, the Minnesota State Colleges and University System, and various quasi-state agencies. To date, over 16% of eligible employees have enrolled, with the average age being 48.

Level premiums – Cost is based on your age at enrollment and will not increase just because you get older. |

Portable – You can take it with you! If you leave employment, you only need to change your method of payment and your cost will remain the same. |

MINNESOTA LONG TERM CARE PARTNERSHIP
CNA is currently working with the State of Minnesota to enhance M-Pel offerings so that some of the plan options offered to State employees will qualify under the Minnesota Long Term Care Partnership. This is a public/private arrangement between long-term care insurers and Minnesota's Medical Assistance Program that enables Minnesota residents who purchase certain long-term care insurance policies to have more of their assets protected if they later need the state to help pay for their long-term care. Minnesota is using this approach to give persons greater control over how they finance their long-term care and help shore up the public safety net against coming demographic pressures.
Watch the M-Pel website for updates on progress toward this goal, and check this website for further information: www.mnltcpartnership.org. |
