APA WF # 24-13 PACE Licensure Revisions
The proposed policy changes remove the requirement that Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) providers be licensed as an adult day care and clarify regulatory requirements for PACE providers. House Bill 3238 of the 2024 legislative session amended the Adult Day Care Act and the Home Care Act to exempt PACE organizations from the licensure requirements of adult day cares and home health organizations. It assigned new regulatory authority to OHCA to enforce federal PACE regulations (42 CFR Part 460) and directed the agency to promulgate the administrative rules to do so. These rule changes will reduce the administrative burden on PACE providers and ensure OHCA expectations and requirements are clear.
