Easier Access to Comprehensive Care for the Elderly
This act aims to expand access to the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), especially in rural and underserved urban areas. It introduces changes to facilitate the establishment of new PACE centers and the expansion of existing ones, and allows for more flexible fee setting for Medicare-only beneficiaries. This means more seniors will be able to access integrated health and social care, potentially improving their quality of life and reducing financial burdens.

Streamlined approval process for new PACE centers and service expansions, accelerating their establishment.
Flexible monthly fee setting for Medicare-only PACE participants, potentially lowering costs for some beneficiaries.
Allows enrollment in PACE programs at any time during the month, increasing flexibility for patients.
States can expand PACE eligibility for individuals who do not require nursing home level of care but need assistance with daily activities, with 90% federal funding.
