APA WF # 24-13 PACE Licensure Revisions

Policy changes to remove the requirement that Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) providers be licensed as an adult day care and clarify regulatory requirements for PACE providers have been previously approved as Emergency Rules and must be promulgated as Permanent Rules. 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).

Additional Permanent Rule changes clarify a PACE organization’s responsibility to address housing insecurity for potential or current participants, requirements surrounding the involuntary disenrollment process, and participant use of assisted living. These rule changes will reduce the administrative burden on PACE providers and ensure OHCA expectations and requirements are clear.
