Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why B is correct
Under ORC 3923.41 to 3923.50 and OAC 3901-4-01, long-term care insurance in Ohio is not limited to skilled nursing facilities; assisted living facility care may be covered as an alternative care setting for insureds who need help with daily activities but do not require full institutional care. The Ohio Department of Insurance treats assisted living among the standard LTC service settings producers must understand.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) No hospital-stay prerequisite applies to assisted living benefits; that misstates the prior-stay limit concept.
- C) Ohio LTC coverage is not confined to nursing homes; alternative settings such as assisted living may be covered.
- D) Assisted living coverage is a long-term care insurance matter under Ohio law, not a Medicare benefit tied to age 65.
Memory hook
Assisted living = LTC's middle setting — more than home, less than a nursing home.
