Understanding the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly

Chapter 4 provides an overview of the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), which provides fully integrated care to adults ages 55 and older with nursing-facility level of care needs while allowing them to remain in the community. Most PACE enrollees are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, and PACE is considered a care approach that provides fully integrated coverage. The Commission has had a long-standing interest in integrated care for dually eligible individuals because of its potential to better align care and improve health outcomes for beneficiaries, including many with complex care needs. The chapter begins with background on PACE, which is currently available in 33 states and the District of Columbia, and highlights findings on the design and administration of PACE.
