What people want to know about enrolling in Community Care’s PACE program

Q: Do I have to change my physician?
A: You may need to change your physician if he or she is not in our network. Community Care maintains a network of quality physicians including onsite primary care doctors and contracted specialty care physicians. If your physician is in our network, you will be able to keep your physician if you choose.

Q: How much is this program going to cost me?
A: Community Care receives monthly per capita (or per person) payments from Medicaid, and where applicable, from Medicare, for all eligible enrollees. Most PACE participants who qualify for both Medicaid and Medicare, pay no out-of-pocket costs for services. Once enrolled in PACE, other than the possible monthly cost share, you will not be charged for any of your health care services.
Before enrolling, you will have the opportunity to discuss your financial situation and you’ll know exactly what your costs will be.

Q: What is the difference between PACE and Family Care Partnership and Family Care?
A: In the PACE and Family Care Partnership all of your primary, specialty, and hospital care is covered along with long term care services. In Family Care only long term care services are covered and you continue to use your Medicare or Medicaid card to see your doctor in the community.

Q: How can I get more information about how Community Care programs will meet my needs?
