    A pilot project established as a cooperative effort between a number of participating states and agencies of the federal government to increase the awareness of the need for long-term care and to measure the impact of planning and the use of private-sector options, including long-term care insurance, to pay for such care.
  2. Social managed care plan (SMCP)
    An organization that offers a Medicare plan alternative with the full range of medical benefits typically offered to Medicare beneficiaries by Medicare Advantage plans, including a prescription drug benefit plus chronic care services.

The PACE service package must include all Medicare services covered by the state plus all medical, social, & rehabilitative services that enrollees need to (1) preserve or restore their independence, (2) remain in their homes and communities, and (3) maintain their quality of life.
  4. State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP)
