The Office of Policy and Management shall coordinate a program entitled the Connecticut Partnership for Long-Term Care whereby private insurance and Medicaid, or its successor program, funds shall be combined to finance long-term care. Under such program, an individual may purchase a precertified long-term care insurance policy in an amount commensurate with his assets. Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes, the resources of such an individual, to the extent such resources are equal to the amount of long-term care insurance benefit payments as provided in section 17b-253, shall not be considered by the Department of Social Services in a determination of his eligibility for Medicaid, or its successor program, or in any subsequent recovery by the state of a payment for medical services.
