Developing a Rural/Tribal Program olf All Inclusive Care for the Elderly
The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is a capitated
benefit authorized by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA) that features
a comprehencive service delivery system and integrated Medicare and
Medicaid financing. The program is modeled on the system of acute and
long term care services. The PACE model was developed to address the
needs of long-term care clients, providers, and payers. For most partici
pants, the comprehensive service package permits them to continue living
at home while receiving services rather than be institutionalized. Capitated financing allows providers to deliver all services participants need
rather than be limited to those reimbursable under the Medicare and Medicaid fee-for-service systems.
