42 CFR 460.190 and 460.192 described CMS’s regulatory authority to monitor, through audit or other means, the Programs for All-Inclusive Care of the Elderly (PACE). This monitoring includes review of books, contracts, medical records, patient care documentation and any other records that pertain to any aspect of services performed, reconciliation of benefit liabilities, and determination of amounts payable. CMS developed a strategy to address our oversight and audit responsibilities. We have combined both the trial year and ongoing audit protocols into one universal audit protocol that is streamlined and outcomes based to reduce the financial and administrative burdens for both CMS and PACE organizations.
Burden has increased to due to an increase in participation POs (135 to 140), data collection instruments increased from 22 to 24 documents and increase regarding the timeframe for administration of the audit. As a result, the total number of hours spent on audit from 2020 to 2023 will increase from 600 hours total to 780 hours total per PO.
