摘要

The Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 (BIPA) modified PACE to grandfather the modifications that programs had implemented as of July 1, 2000, including the use community-based primary care physicians. Furthermore, it allowed for a waiver process so that established PACE organizations can receive CMS authorization to use community-based primary care physicians. This paper describes how organizations that have the authority to use community-based primary care physicians are doing so.
