MMSD's Long-term care insurance carrier is Unum.

Coverage is available to MMSD employees and their spouse, domestic partner, parent(s) and domestic partner's parents.  

How much does it cost?

The cost of coverage varies by the plan, amount of coverage and your age.  You can find a cost calculator at the Unum site, which you can get to from MMSD's benefits enrollment site Standard.BenSelect

Should I enroll in coverage?
