§ 10232.93

Every long-term care policy or certificate shall define the maximum lifetime benefit as a single dollar amount that may be used interchangeably for any home- and community-based services defined in Section 10232.9, assisted living benefit defined in Section 10232.92, or institutional care covered by the policy or certificate. There shall be no limit on any specific covered benefit except for a daily, weekly, or monthly limit set for home- and community-based care and for assisted living care, and for the limits for institutional care. Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting limitations for reimbursement of actual expenses and incurred expenses up to daily, weekly, and monthly limits.
