Title

Health care for elderly, programs providing all inclusive care for the elderly (PACE programs), licensing by Health Department, fees

Description

Existing federal law provides for programs which provide and administer all inclusive care for the elderly (PACE programs). The programs provide different levels of health care for the elderly and are funded under special provisions of the federal Medicaid program.

Existing state law does not specifically provide for the licensure of PACE programs by the Health Department.

This bill would provide for the licensure of PACE programs by the health department and for licensure fees with certain limitations to be set by the State Board of Health.
