The Choices program is a consumer-directed Medicaid waiver program. Choices consumers assume greater control over delivery of services, as well as the service providers. The consumer becomes the employer and hires service providers in his or her home. Providers can be professional caregivers, friends, neighbors or some relatives (spouses, parents, step-parents and legal guardians are ineligible). Choices is available to current PASSPORT consumers in the central Ohio and southern Ohio regions served by the Area Agencies on Aging based in Columbus, Marietta and Rio Grande.

PACE (Program of All Inclusive Care)

 

What is PACE?

PACE provides an alternative to nursing home placement that utilizes a comprehensive medical and social service delivery system coordinated through an adult day health center to meet long-term care needs of participants. Participants enroll in a capitated managed care benefit funded by Medicare and Medicaid. This benefit provides ALL needed health care, medical care and ancillary services in acute, sub-acute, institutional and community settings. The program is supplemented by in-home and referral services.

What services are provided by the PACE program?

A team lead by a specialized physician works with participants and their families to assess their needs, develop a care plan and deliver all services – including acute care services and, when necessary, nursing facility services. Services include: medical care, including primary and specialty physician and nursing care, medical specialties, including audiology, dentistry, optometry and podiatry, physical and occupational therapies, medical transportation, mental health services, meals, nutritional counseling, social services, home health care and personal care, medications, respite care and hospital and nursing home care when necessary. The service package includes all Medicare and Medicaid covered services and other services determined necessary by the PACE team. Sites may pool their resources to pay for services for an individual, including services not otherwise covered by Medicare or Medicaid.
