                establishing payment amounts for services furnished to

                physicians and other entities referred to in such

            (1) Requirement.--The Secretary, in close cooperation with 
        the single State agency that administers or supervises the 
        administration of the State plan under title XIX of the Social 
        Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq.) (in this section referred 
        to as the ``State Medicaid agency''), shall establish 
        procedures for entering into, extending, and terminating 
        program agreements (each in this section referred to as a 
        ``program agreement'') for the operation of residential care

            (2) Agreement required for payment.--In order to receive

                        terminating an agreement under this clause 
                        include that the Secretary or State

                                and
                                    (II) the entity has failed to 
                                develop and successfully initiate,

                                receipt of written notice of such a 
                                determination, a plan to correct the 
                                deficiencies, or has failed to continue 
                                implementation of such a plan.

                        paragraph shall be construed, in the case that 
                        a program agreement is terminated--
                                    (I) for a previously participating 
                                CCRC resident continuing, as affecting 
                                the individual's right to continue to 
                                reside in the CCRC and to receive 
                                traditional CCRC care and services in 
                                accordance with the contract between 
                                the CCRC resident and the CCRC; and
                                    (II) as relieving the State from 
                                continuing to provide medical 
                                assistance with respect to such 
                                services for individuals who would 
                                qualify as dual-eligible individuals if 
                                the agreement had not been terminated.

                        the cost of providing such items and services 
                        to other Medicare beneficiaries.
            (6) Patient safeguards.--The agreement under paragraph (2) 
        shall provide for written safeguards of the rights of 
        participating CCRC residents enrolled in a residential care 
        coordination program (including a patient bill of rights and 
        procedures for grievances and appeals). Such safeguards shall 
        be similar to the safeguards required under the section 
        1894(b)(2)(B) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 
        1395eee(b)(2)(B)) with respect to the PACE program.
            (7) Transition.--If a participating CCRC resident who is 
        enrolled in a residential care coordination program is 
        disenrolled from such program, the eligible CCRC shall provide 
        assistance to the individual in obtaining necessary care 
        through appropriate referrals and making the individual's 
        medical records available to new providers.
            (8) Rule of construction.--Nothing is this subsection shall 
        be construed as preventing the eligible CCRC from assessing 
        typical and appropriate fees to eligible CCRC residents.
    (g) Secretary's Oversight; Enforcement Authority.--
            (1) Oversight.--
                    (A) In general.--During the duration of the 
                demonstration project, with respect to an eligible CCRC 
                operating a residential care coordination program under 
                a program agreement under subsection (f), the Secretary 
                (acting in cooperation with the State Medicaid agency) 
                shall conduct a comprehensive annual review of the 
                operation of the eligible CCRC in order to ensure 
                compliance with the requirements of this section. Such 
                review shall include--
                            (i) an onsite visit to the eligible CCRC;
                            (ii) a comprehensive assessment of the 
                        community's fiscal soundness;
                            (iii) a comprehensive assessment of the 
                        eligible CCRC's capacity to provide all 
                        comprehensive coordinated health care services 
                        to participating CCRC residents;
                            (iv) detailed analysis of the community's 
                        substantial compliance with the requirements of 
                        this section; and
                            (v) any other elements that the Secretary 
                        or the State Medicaid agency considers 
                        necessary or appropriate.
                    (B) Disclosure.--The results of reviews under this 
                paragraph shall be reported promptly to the eligible 
                CCRC, along with any recommendations for changes to the 
                community's program, and shall be made available to the 
                public through a public Web site of the Department of 
                Health and Human Services.
            (2) Sanctions.--
                    (A) In general.--If the Secretary determines (after 
                consultation with the State Medicaid agency) that an 
                eligible CCRC operating a residential care coordination 
                program under a program agreement under subsection (f) 
                is failing substantially to comply with the 
                requirements of this section, the Secretary (and the 
                State Medicaid agency) may take any or all of the 
                following actions:
                            (i) Condition the continuation of the 
                        program agreement upon timely execution of a 
                        corrective action plan.
                            (ii) Withhold some or all further payments 
                        under the program agreement under this section 
                        with respect to services furnished by such 
                        community until the deficiencies have been 
                        corrected.
                            (iii) Terminate such agreement under 
                        subsection (f)(3)(B).
                    (B) Application of intermediate sanctions.--The 
                Secretary may, by regulation, provide for the 
                application against an eligible CCRC operating a 
                residential care coordination program under a program 
                agreement under this section of remedies described in 
                section 1857(g)(2) of the Social Security Act (42 
                U.S.C. 1395w-27(g)(2)) or section 1903(m)(5)(B) of such 
                Act (42 U.S.C. 1396b(m)(5)(B)) in the case of 
                violations by the community of the type described in 
                section 1857(g)(1) or 1903(m)(5)(A) of such Act, 
                respectively (in relation to agreements, enrollees, and 
                requirements under this section).
                    (C) Procedures for termination or imposition of 
                sanctions.--The provisions of section 1857(h) of the 
                Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395w-27(h)) shall 
                apply, by regulation, to termination and sanctions 
                respecting a program agreement and an eligible CCRC 
                operating a residential care coordination program under 
                a program agreement under this subsection in the same 
                manner as they apply to a termination and sanctions 
                with respect to a contract and a Medicare Advantage 
                organization under part C of title XVIII of such Act.
    (h) Waiver.--Notwithstanding section 1115(a) of the Social Security 
Act (42 U.S.C. 1315(a)), the Secretary may waive such provisions of 
titles XI, XVIII, and XIX of that Act as may be necessary to--
            (1) accomplish the goals of the demonstration project under 
        this section; and
            (2) maximize the quality of life of eligible CCRC 
        beneficiaries, as determined using the measures established 
        under subsection (f)(5)(B).
    (i) Duration of 10 Years.--
            (1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2) and subsection

        implemented under subsection (a)(2)(B).
            (2) Extension.--The Secretary, acting through the Center 
        for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, may extend the use of 
        capitated payments for eligible CCRCs for residential care 
        coordination programs under this section if, by the termination 
        date that would otherwise apply under paragraph (1), the 
        Secretary has demonstrated that the demonstration project has 
        improved the coordination, quality, and efficiency of health 
        care services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries.
    (j) Study and Report to Congress.--
            (1) Interim evaluation and report.--Not later than 3 years 
        after the date on which the demonstration project is first

                    (A) An interim evaluation of the costs and benefits 
                of providing comprehensive coordinated health care 
                services to Medicare beneficiaries (including dual-
                eligible individuals) through residential care 
                coordination programs, including the costs and benefits 
                of using payments under title XIX of the Social 
                Security Act to provide continuity of care by 
                permitting certain individuals to continue to 
                participate in such programs after qualifying for 
                enrollment in the Medicaid program under this section 
                due to reduced income and assets.
                    (B) An analysis of the appropriateness of 
                implementing a new payment methodology under titles 
                XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act for such 
                services in the future.
            (2) Final evaluation and report.--Not later than 10 years 
        after the date on which the demonstration project is first so 
        implemented, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a report
