Transamerica Long-Term Care Insurance & Home Care in New Jersey

Holding a Transamerica long-term care insurance policy in New Jersey? 24 HOUR Home Care NJ works with Transamerica policyholders and their families to activate benefits, coordinate with claims administrators, and deliver professional RN-supervised in-home care across New Jersey.

Transamerica has issued long-term care insurance policies for decades. In recent years, Transamerica transferred administration of many of its LTCI policies to LTCG (Long Term Care Group), which now handles claims processing on Transamerica’s behalf. Our team is experienced with this administrative structure and will guide you through it step by step.

According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, families who start the LTCI claims process before or during the elimination period typically begin receiving reimbursement sooner.

Transamerica LTCI Coverage: What Home Care Services Qualify

Transamerica long-term care insurance policies cover licensed in-home care services when you meet the policy’s benefit triggers. Qualifying services include:

• Personal care and hygiene assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming)
• Mobility and transfer assistance
• Medication reminders and management support
• Dementia care and Alzheimer’s disease care
• Live-in caregiver services
• 24-hour and around-the-clock care
• Overnight care and nighttime supervision
• Companion care and supervision
• Respite care for family caregivers

Specific benefit amounts — daily maximum, lifetime maximum, inflation riders — depend on your Transamerica policy and its terms at issuance. Always confirm your current benefit levels with LTCG/Transamerica at 1-888-763-7474.

Transamerica LTCI Benefit Triggers for Home Care

To qualify for Transamerica home care benefits, a licensed health care practitioner must certify that you meet one of these benefit trigger criteria:

1. Functional Impairment (ADL-Based): You require substantial hands-on assistance with 2 or more of 6 Activities of Daily Living (bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, transferring, continence). This need is expected to persist for at least 90 days.
2. Cognitive Impairment: You have Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or another severe cognitive impairment that requires continuous supervision to protect health and safety and maintain daily functioning.

Our registered nurses conduct thorough in-home assessments and work with your physician to document your care needs accurately for Transamerica’s requirements. Proper documentation at the outset prevents delays and claim denials.

According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, we handle LTCI claims filing and coordinate directly with insurers so families can focus on their loved one’s care instead of paperwork.

Navigating the Transamerica / LTCG Claims Process

Because Transamerica transferred its LTCI claims administration to LTCG (Long Term Care Group), the claims process involves a specific set of steps:

1. Contact LTCG: Call 1-888-763-7474 to open your claim. You can also initiate online at LTCG’s policyholder portal if available for your policy.
2. Receive Claim Forms: LTCG will provide the Claimant Statement and Attending Physician Statement forms. Our team can explain what each form requires.
3. Physician Certification: Your doctor completes the APS documenting your ADL deficits or cognitive diagnosis, prognosis, and recommended care plan.
4. Plan of Care: Our RN supervisor creates a licensed care plan meeting LTCG/Transamerica’s requirements.
5. Agency Documentation: We provide our state license, caregiver credentials, and service agreement to LTCG.
6. Claim Review & Approval: LTCG reviews all submitted documentation and authorizes benefits, confirming your daily maximum and benefit period.
7. Monthly Reimbursement: We provide monthly itemized invoices and care logs for your reimbursement submissions.

The Administration for Community Living’s LTC resource recommends maintaining a dedicated file of all correspondence, claim forms, and invoices — a practice we support by keeping organized records for every client.
