MetLife Long-Term Care Insurance
The State Employees Group Insurance Program offers an optional group long-term care insurance plan through MetLife. Premiums for the plan are paid entirely by the Member directly to MetLife at group rates. Members may enroll or relocate at any time.
Most medical plans are designed to cover an acute care and skilled care, but rarely cover care of a custodial or long-term nature. A person may need this level of care due to various factors such as age, illness or accidental injury. The plan has coverage options that range from in-home care through services provided in a residential facility.
Members may request an enrollment kit from MetLife by calling 1-800-438-6388. Please say “State of Illinois” when asked for your company name. Members will be sent, at no obligation, plan information and options, premium rates, and a personalized enrollment kit.
