Makes sense. So, D looks good since it directly ties to the PACE agreement nuances.

True, A must be wrong. B felt off too, there shouldn’t be an upper dollar limit.

I remember reading it's for citizens over 55, so A doesn't seem right.

I considered C, something about the monthly capitation set at 100% of the AAPCC.

Yeah, it was a bit confusing. I think the answer is D, about PACE providers receiving capitated payments only through the PACE agreement.
