To meet the qualification of a PACE provider, an applicant must meet the definitions established in sections 1894(a)(3) or 1934(a)(3) of the Social Security Act. The Act defines a PACE provider as being a public or private, nonprofit entity organized for charitable purposes under 501(3)(c) of the Internal revenue code of 1986; and has entered into a PACE program agreement with respect to its operation of a PACE program as defined in 1894(a)(2) and 1924(a)(2) of the Social Security Act. In addition to meeting the definitions of a PACE provider, the law also requires that each potential applicant meet the full statutory definition of a rural area. The medical, social and long-term care needs are met under this initiative and will benefit the elderly beneficiaries who reside in rural areas.
