Developing PACE

Altitude Edge can save you money and time by successfully guiding you through PACE development, a phase that typically lasts from 18 to 24 months.

PACE Application

Completing and submitting the PACE application is a critical first step.  Altitude Edge will prepare the federal PACE Provider Application, including any required revisions until approved. We prepare the Medicare Part D application and coordinate the involvement of an actuary for required certification.

Operational Design/Review

Altitude Edge will help you build the infrastructure for the PACE organization. We will collaborate with you on all aspects of recruiting and training key management; development of the provider network; design and construction of the PACE center; and design and implementation of operating frameworks for the health center and all supporting services.  We will provide you with the policies and procedures required for PACE regulations and state licensing, and will help you prepare for the state readiness review.

Training & Support

Altitude Edge will provide on-site training in all aspects of PACE. We combine best practices and experience to help PACE programs train key employees for peak performance. Areas of expertise include but are not limited to marketing and enrollment, Medicare risk adjustment, medical directorship and interdisciplinary team.

Enrollment Projections & Planning

Once a PACE program is functional, it is essential to build enrollment. Altitude Edge can offer strategies for growing the program. As enrollment increases, we will ensure the program is functioning efficiently.

Operations Training

Altitude Edge has developed a rigorous curriculum to train prospective PACE organizations in the details of PACE operations. This curriculum is delivered at a designated PACE training center. The multi-day training covers all aspects of running a PACE program, including operations, marketing and finance.

Integrated Marketing Plan

Altitude Edge can assist you with developing a comprehensive, long-term marketing plan to raise your visibility, educate health care professionals and consumers, and build program census. This marketing plan will incorporate strategies and tactics appropriate for your local market and a timeline for executing various activities.

Start-up Kit

To market and establish your PACE program in the community, Altitude Edge can create a marketing start-up kit of materials needed to communicate with the audiences that want to know about this innovative health care option. The start-up kit will provide a cohesive look and feel for your PACE program that concisely communicates how PACE can help your community.
