MACPAC Reviews PACE Oversight, Outlines Next Steps

Federal advisors are taking a closer look at how the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is monitored across states. At its April meeting, the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission signaled support for changes that would improve transparency, streamline oversight, and reduce duplication for providers—areas that have long created administrative strain.

MACPAC’s recommendations focus on aligning audits across agencies, making PACE performance data easier to access and compare, and establishing a standardized national quality measure set. Together, these steps aim to give providers clearer expectations while offering policymakers and the public more consistent information about program performance.
