Kickoff Event: Improving Access to Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)

The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) model provides community-based, coordinated and comprehensive care for frail adults over age 55. In November 2021, BPC released recommendations to guarantee fully integrated care for Medicare-Medicaid beneficiaries and recognized PACE as one of three fully integrated models that states should consider adopting.

Please join BPC on Thursday, February 17, at 11:00 a.m. ET, for a virtual discussion on the bipartisan history of PACE, the value of the model, and challenges to PACE expansion. This event kicks off BPC’s work to improve access to the PACE model, with recommendations being released in July 2022.
