Virtual PACE Planning Grant

Wisconsin is one of fifteen states that received a demonstration grant from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to develop a care coordination and funding model to integrate the care of persons dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. Awarded by the Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office ("Office of the Duals"), Wisconsin's demonstration project is called Virtual PACE.

The planning contract Wisconsin received was subsequently extended and additional funding was provided to continue planning activities.
