Why is the home health care reimbursement now up to 100% of the daily benefit amount under FLTCIP 2.0?
OPM requested a home health care benefit at up to 100% of the daily benefit amount for FLTCIP 2.0. This had been requested in the past by enrollees and applicants. As many of our current claimants have utilized home health care, offering reimbursement of home health care expenses at up to 100% of the daily benefit amount enhances the value of the FLTCIP, giving claimants more flexibility in the amount of home health care they can receive on any given day.
