    How much does PACE cost?

 

Great Lakes PACE receives payments from Medicare/Medicaid, if applicable, to cover expenses for its participants. Most people who have both Medicare and Medicaid pay nothing more for the program. Once enrolled in PACE and Medicaid eligible, if you are admitted to a nursing facility you may be liable for a patient pay amount as determined by the State of Michigan. A PACE participant may be fully liable for the cost of medical services from an out-of-network provider or without previous authorization (except for emergency services).
