3 PROCEDURE FOR PROVISION OF PRIMARY CARE SERVICES All participants have a PACE primary care physician (PCP). PACE participants also receive care and services from PACE nurse practitioners (NPs) who work in collaboration with the participant s primary care physician. All NPs work under a Practice Agreement with a supervisory physician but may collaborate with other SE physicians. The Medical Director retains overall responsibility for the delivery of participant care, for clinical outcomes, and for implementation and oversight of the QAPI program. The Medical Director will review, at least annually, the Massachusetts Administrative Code concerning NPs with regard to oversight requirement, practice authorities, and prescriptive authorities and will update the Practice Agreement to meet any code changes and as well, notify CMS of such changes. 1. Primary Medical Care is provided by physicians and nurse practitioners (NPs), and consists of the following: a) Medical histories, physical examinations, record reviews, and test result reviews for the purpose of developing discipline specific problem lists and treatment plans for program participants. b) Conducting follow-up examinations to address active medical concerns. c) Providing acute and chronic medical care to participants in multiple settings including at the PACE center, acute hospital, home, assisted living facility, rest home, and nursing homes. d) Educating and counseling participants and families. e) Maintaining documentation of medical care provided. f) Coordinating care with other members of the Interdisciplinary team (IDT) and other service providers including home care nurses, assisted living and rest home staffs, and nursing home staffs. g) Referring participants to medical specialists, and following up on recommendations.

The NP and supervisory physician will agree to, sign, and follow the Supervisory Agreement, attached as Appendix A. c) A newly employed NP will review all cases with the supervising physician or a collaborating NP during an initial period. This initial period is determined by the Medical Director or his/her designee, occurs as part of the initial competency evaluation, and is a minimum of one month. This review may be done in person or via phone. 3. Primary medical care may be provided by either a PCP or a NP. a) Responsibilities include: i) Performance of Initial Assessments and Annual, Semi-annual, periodic and unscheduled participant re-assessments in the month of or prior to the planned interdisciplinary Care Plan meeting to be completed prior to the actual IDT meeting. When an assessment is done by an NP, the PCP will discuss that assessment with the NP to enable their separate and shared knowledge and skills to influence the patient s medical plan of care to ensure collaboration on these assessments and reassessments. ii) Participation in the Interdisciplinary Care Plan meeting PA-SE Provision of Primary Care Services Rev 2/29/12 Page 4 of 12

The PACE Medical Director may occasionally waive this expectation in selected circumstances. ix) Prescribing of medications as indicated by the assessment and treatment plan and if by an NP, as outlined in the Supervisory Agreement. x) Referral to specialists for consultations when that consultation will enhance the care of the participant. The NP will refer to consultants as outlined in the Supervisory Agreement. xi) The NP will collaborate with a physician as outlined in the Supervisory Agreement: (1) Consultation with the physician may be in-person, by telephone, or electronically. (2) Collaboration will occur preferentially between the treating NP and the participant s PCP but in the contingency when the participant s PCP is not readily available, the NP will collaborate with their supervisory physician, a covering physician, or the Medical Director. (3) The consultation may be with the PCP, the supervisory physician, a covering physician, or the Medical Director PA-SE Provision of Primary Care Services Rev 2/29/12 Page 5 of 12
6 (4) Collaboration may occur in person, via telephone, or electronically. The NP is responsible to document this collaboration in the participant s record.

The NP is responsible to then review their assessment and care given and additional care recommended with that physician. 4.
