Abstract: PACE organizations must demonstrate their ability to provide quality community-based care for the frail elderly who meet their State's nursing home eligibility standards using capitated payments from Medicare and the state. The model of care includes as core services the provision of adult day health care and multidisciplinary team case management, through which access to and allocation of all health services is controlled. Physician, therapeutic, ancillary, and social support services are provided in the participant's residence or on-site at the adult day health center. PACE programs must provide all Medicare and Medicaid covered services including hospital, nursing home, home health, and other specialized services. Financing of this model is accomplished through prospective capitation of both Medicare and Medicaid payments.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The proposed rule addresses various requirements, reduces administrative burden, and provides additional participant protections. The revisions streamlined service determination request extension notifications to reduce administrative burden while building in participant protections including enhanced participant rights requirements; enhanced grievance process requirements, timeframes for arranging and scheduling services, and the development of a risk tool for medical clearance, and added flexibility regarding the maintenance of medical records and communications related to participant’s care, health, or safety. While the rule makes no changes to our State burden estimates, it would revise our private sector burden by 4 respondents, 23,430 responses, and 41,740 hours.
