Legislative intent. The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly ("PACE") is a federally recognized model of comprehensive care for persons 55 years of age or older who qualify for nursing home levels of care, who wish to remain in their community, and who are eligible for Medicaid (see, Sections 1894 and 1934 to Title XVIII of the Social Security Act; 42 CFR 460). Uniformity of regulation of PACE organizations will promote efficiency for the organizations and for the state. It is the intent of the legislature through this act to provide a more efficient and uniform structure to promote the prudent development of PACE organizations, to promote better health outcomes for New Yorkers enrolled in PACE organizations, and to realize administrative efficien- cies. It is the intent of the legislature to recognize PACE organiza- tions as integrated providers of care. PACE organizations shall not be construed to be managed care organizations under article 44 of the public health law. § 2. The public health law is amended by adding a new article 29-EE to read as follows: ARTICLE 29-EE PROGRAM OF ALL-INCLUSIVE CARE FOR THE ELDERLY SECTION 2999-S. DEFINITIONS. 2999-T.
