On February 10th, ADvancing States submitted comments on the CMS Request for Information regarding the PACE innovation act.  The PACE Innovation Act of 2015 (PIA) provides authority to waive certain provisions of Section 1934 of the Social Security Act in order to test application of PACE-like models for additional populations, including populations under the age of 55 and those who do not qualify for a nursing home level of care, under Section 1115A of the Social Security Act.  For more information on the RFI, visit: https://www.cms.gov/Medicare-Medicaid-Coordination/Medicare-and-Medicaid-Coordination/Medicare-Medicaid-Coordination-Office/PACEInnovationAct.html
