NC PACE ASSOCIATION |
Do you want to go it alone, or form a partnership with other entities who want PACE in the community?
Is there a program near you that might be able to expand to serve you?
The Letter of Intent
State and federal regulations require prospective PACE providers to “define” a service area which must be approved by the state and CMS. This is done by submitting a letter of intent to the state PACE Program Manager which specifies the counties or portions thereof (usually by zip codes) that you anticipate serving. At a minimum, you should have knowledge of the market, a grasp of the feasibility, and confidence of your capacity and commitment to develop a program before requesting the service area. A technical assistance provider can assist with this process, if necessary.
