Finance Subcommittee on Health and Human Services Committee Meeting – March 23, 2023

McGregor PACE took the floor to present to the House Finance Subcommittee on Health and Human Services Committee Meeting – March 23, 2023

Tangi McCoy, President/CEO of McGregor PACE, Ohio’s only current Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) spoke to the subcommittee on March 23, 2023. 
As a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator she has worked in long term care for 25 years. She started at McGregor as the Chief Operating Officer for their skilled nursing facility before transitioning to McGregor PACE in her current role.

“While it is certainly the desire of current and prospective PACE providers to maintain the cost savings of PACE care to the State of Ohio, and in fact it is federally required that the program continues to offer a
cost savings when compared to what would otherwise be paid via Medicaid,” Ms. McCoy stated.

McCoy went on to say, “As PACE is responsible for providing all needed health care services through its fully at-risk care model, if the cost of reimbursement for health services increases, PACE is still responsible for providing care at its current rate. She went on to testify to the facts that as other provider types and insurers rates were increased, PACE was not included in the rate increases in the executive budget proposal. The request is being made that Ohio should engage in PACE rate rebasing annually to ensure the program is being reimbursed appropriately.”  To read more testimony, click here: McGregorPACE Ohio House of Representatives
