Ohio HB750 expands the PACE program by inviting proposals for new PACE organizations in unserved counties.

Ohio HB750 mandates the Department of Aging to issue a request for proposals for entities interested in becoming PACE organizations in counties not currently served by the PACE program. The Department will evaluate proposals and determine qualified entities by June 30, 2027. These entities can then apply to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to become PACE organizations. The bill outlines specific criteria for eligibility, including compliance with federal requirements and demonstration of experience in providing health care services to frail older adults.
