PACE Compliance

This memo is relevant to PACE programs due to its focus on fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) which are also critical areas of concern within PACE. While the memo specifically addresses Medicare Advantage Organizations and Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plans, the implications for PACE organizations include the necessity for increased vigilance in oversight activities and the potential to adopt similar strategies to mitigate FWA.

PACE organizations should consider the following actions to align with the objectives highlighted in the memo:

  • Attend webinars or training sessions focusing on FWA to gain insights into best practices and methodologies.
  • Utilize data analytics to identify unusual patterns or anomalies that could suggest fraudulent activities.
  • Implement comprehensive monitoring and auditing systems to ensure robust oversight of PACE operations.
  • Conduct regular outreach and training for staff and related entities to keep informed of the latest FWA schemes and prevention strategies.

In summary, while specific directives for PACE compliance are not outlined in the memo, the principles of increased monitoring, data utilization, and proactive training are applicable and beneficial for maintaining compliance and reducing FWA risks within PACE programs.
