National PACE Association
“The federal program that turned On Lok into a national care-and-payment model.”
The Balanced Budget Act made PACE a permanent Medicare/Medicaid option. A team, a day center, and full-risk payment for people who qualify for a nursing home but want the house.
Made all-inclusive aging-in-place a reimbursable system, not a pilot.
- Dual-eligible full-risk capitation
- Interdisciplinary team
- Nursing-home-level care at home
One payment. The whole life.
