MAY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Aging AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to establishing a state-level program of all-inclusive care for the elderly; to amend the social services law, in relation to making technical corrections to such law; and repealing certain provisions of the social services law relating thereto THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly ("PACE") is a feder- ally recognized model of comprehensive care for persons 55 years of age or older, qualifying for nursing home levels of care who wish to remain in their community (see, Sections 1894 and 1934 to Title XVIII of the Social Security Act; 42 CFR 460). The PACE program includes both Medi- caid and Medicare covered benefits. Federal preemption of state laws with respect to PACE has inhibited the ability of state agencies - particularly the New York State Department of Health ("DOH") - to regu- late PACE plans similarly to other public and commercial health plans. The legislature further finds that: Research has demonstrated that PACE has delivered marked improvements for enrollees in the programs nationwide including, but not limited to reduced hospitalizations and readmissions; reduced reliance on emergency medical services; improved quality of life; and higher satisfaction with the totality of their care. In conjunction with these improvements, the implementation of PACE in New York has realized significant savings to the state's Medicaid program compared to costs that would have been incurred under fee-for- service. As neither a fee-for-service model nor a managed long-term care plan, PACE represents a unique approach to care and coverage for those with long-term care needs. PACE organizations are currently required to be licensed and are regulated under multiple provisions of state and EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
