Updated September 6, 2026. Quick answer: Yes. Nevada participates in the federal Long-Term Care Partnership Program, using a dollar-for-dollar asset-protection model, under Nev. Admin. Code Sections 687B.0335 and 687B.058 (Nevada Long-Term Care Insurance Partnership Program).
How the asset protection works
Nevada uses a dollar-for-dollar asset-protection model: an amount of Medicaid-countable assets equal to what a qualified Partnership policy actually paid out is protected (disregarded) both when applying for Medicaid and later in Medicaid estate recovery. Nev. Admin. Code Sections 687B.0335 and 687B.058 (Nevada Long-Term Care Insurance Partnership Program) is the governing citation.
What the state itself says about moving
Nevada’s own program materials address this directly, describing it this way: if you move to a state that does not maintain a partnership program or does not recognize your long-term care insurance contract or certificate as a partnership policy or partnership certificate, you would not receive beneficial treatment
Which policies qualify
Nevada’s own materials tie the program to policies issued on or after 2007 (or the date its state plan amendment took effect that year). A long-term care policy bought before that cutoff is not automatically Partnership-qualified in Nevada even if it otherwise looks similar; the policy’s own rider or outline of coverage should say “Partnership” or “Qualified State Long-Term Care Insurance Partnership” explicitly.
Estate recovery, not just eligibility
The federal rule requires the same protected amount to be disregarded twice: once when Nevada decides Medicaid eligibility, and again later if Nevada pursues Medicaid estate recovery against the person’s estate. A Partnership-qualified policy is doing two jobs, not one; see how estate recovery itself works in Nevada.
