                    (A) such contract shall be treated for purposes of 
                the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as a long-term care 
                insurance contract (as defined in section 7702B(b) of 
                such Code), and
                    (B) services provided under, or reimbursed by, such

        section 7702B(b) of such Code), no gain or loss shall be 
        recognized on the exchange. If, in addition to a long-term care 
        insurance contract, money or other property is received in the 
exchange, then any gain shall be recognized to the extent of the sum of 
the money and the fair market value of the other property received. For 
purposes of this paragraph, the cancellation of a contract providing 
for long-term care insurance coverage and reinvestment of the 
cancellation proceeds in a long-term care insurance contract within 60 
days thereafter shall be treated as an exchange.
            (4) Issuance of certain riders permitted.--For purposes of 
        applying sections 101(f), 7702, and 7702A of the Internal 
        Revenue Code of 1986 to any contract--
