The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly saves taxpayers more than $2.8 billion annually, according to a new issue brief from the Center for Medical Economics and Innovation at the Pacific Research Institute.
The PACE model currently saves an average of $2,800 per participant per month, or $33,600 annually, according to the analysis, but those savings could be greater with some reforms, PRI said.
“PACE is not generating theoretical savings — these are real, measurable savings that benefit Medicare and Medicaid, while giving patients the dignity of receiving care in their homes,” said Center for Medical Economics and Innovation Director Wayne Winegarden, PhD.
Winegarden also is the author of the analysis.
