Modern Healthcare features WelbeHealth in a discussion on the challenges and opportunities of scaling PACE to serve 2 million eligible seniors. Dive into the regulatory hurdles and discover how organizations like WelbeHealth are positioned to expand access while maintaining high-quality care and better outcomes for older adults.

From Dr. Matt Patterson, President of WelbeHealth: 

“The biggest challenge to scaling PACE to 2 million eligible older adults is a regulatory environment that still has not made PACE available in all states, not allowed consumer choice of PACE providers in all locations where PACE is offered and not reduced the friction in new program approval processes. If federal and state regulations address these challenges, then organizations with the right operational capabilities and that prioritize quality, compliance, and workforce development are positioned to expand the reach of PACE while maintaining its track record of better outcomes for frail seniors at a lower taxpayer burden than alternatives. Regulations that better support PACE expansion could also be married with those that better hold PACE organizations to a high bar of quality outcomes to support a clear value proposition to taxpayers.”
