As PACE Program Grows, CMS Ups the Auditing Ante in 2023

As Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) grow across the U.S., sponsoring entities can expect CMS to put additional scrutiny on their operations. New PACE organizations are subject to audits in their first three years of operation, and updated audit protocols for 2023 include expanded collection of data around both the clinical services provided to participants as well as the non-clinical program features such as transportation, according to BluePeak Advisors, a division of Gallagher Benefit Services, Inc. This will require significantly more man hours and readiness on the part of the sponsoring PACE organization, adds BluePeak, which helps PACE organizations and Medicare Advantage organizations prepare for audits.
