Abstract: This OMB package requests clearance for an enrollee survey to support an evaluation of the for-profit Program of All-Inclusive Care of the Elderly (PACE) plans. The PACE program aims to provide integrated care and services to the frail elderly at risk of institutionalization to enable them to remain in the community. Under the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, the not-for-profit PACE plans were established as permanent providers under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The BBA also mandated a demonstration of for-profit PACE plans. A 2005-2006 evaluation was conducted of the PACE program, but it focused solely on the not-for-profit PACE sites because no for-profit PACE plans were operational at that time. The objective of this evaluation is to evaluate the for-profit PACE plans; specifically to understand the extent of variation between the permanent not-for-profit PACE plans and the for-profit PACE plans. The evaluation will address the question of how access to and quality of care delivered to enrollees in for-profit PACE plans differ from not-for-profit PACE plans. The evaluation will analyze the outcome measures of access to and quality of care for enrollees of the not-for-profit and for-profit PACE plans. While the evaluation will use secondary data to identify comparable not-for-profit and for-profit PACE enrollee samples, primary data collection is necessary to obtain the data for the outcome measures. We will conduct a telephone survey of the sampled enrollees to collect data on the patient's health and functional status, access to and satisfaction with health care services, satisfaction with caregivers, and quality of life. The survey for this evaluation is adapted from the survey administered for the evaluation of the not-for-profit PACE programs.
