Summary
Michigan has updated expansion criteria for PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) organizations, establishing detailed feasibility study requirements for different types of expansions including geographic area expansion, new physical sites, and capacity increases. This policy provides specific documentation and staffing requirements that existing PACE providers must meet when submitting expansion applications.
Action Required
By October 1, 2024: PACE organizations in Michigan planning expansions should review the new feasibility study requirements and ensure compliance with staffing requirements (Executive Director, Medical Director, Center Manager, Financial Manager, Quality Improvement Manager positions). Organizations must submit letter of intent by August 1 (14 months prior) for budget consideration and be prepared to submit feasibility studies within 90 days of MDHHS confirmation letter.
