On July 25, Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and Mike Braun (R-IN) introduced an act that would compel CMS to open enrollment of PACE to anytime of month. The one-pager describing the Act references how individuals attempting to access other long-term care services are not burdened with the same delays as PACE participants, who are required to wait until the first of the next month to enroll. The bill also addresses the statutory requirement that payment be prorated monthly to allow for partial months. LeadingAge has been supportive of these provisions when included in other bills and will seek enactment of this bill.
