Necessary qualifications will be spelled out in the policy. Usually based on ADL's (Activities of Daily Living). If certified by a licensed health care practitioner that you are unable to perform a specified number of ADLs without assistance (dressing, eating, bathing, etc.), and you receive that assistance in accordance with your policy, they pay.
