CMS Pub. 100-11, ch. 17, § 20.4
Expansion Application
The most current version of the PACE Expansion Application is available
at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/PACE/07_Expansions.asp#TopOfPage.
The application is required for PACE organizations wishing to expand their service area
or add a new PACE center. In order to ensure quality of care for PACE participants, CMS
will only approve an expansion application after an organization has completed the first
trial period audit and achieved an acceptable corrective action plan for the initial PACE
center and service area.
There are three scenarios under which a PACE provider may expand operations. Each
scenario described below contains a list of steps that must be followed for expansion
approval.
