New Hampshire's LTC Partnership program

New Hampshire has an active LTC Partnership program. New Hampshire participates in the federal/state LTC Partnership program, with certified policies tracked by the NH Insurance Department and Medicaid asset disregard administered via DHHS.

A Partnership-qualified policy lets you keep an extra dollar of assets, protected from Medicaid spend-down, for every dollar your policy pays out in benefits — see the note above for this state's current status. Learn more about how Partnership programs work.

How to compare quotes in New Hampshire

• Ask which products a carrier is actively writing in New Hampshire today — availability changes state by state and year to year. See carriers we compare.
• If a Partnership-qualified policy matters to you, confirm with the carrier or agent whether a policy is currently certified as Partnership-qualified in New Hampshire — see this state's Partnership status above.
• Compare traditional and hybrid options side by side — see traditional vs. hybrid coverage.
