Pace Healthcare

What Pace Healthcare does

Pace Healthcare LLC is a single-site outpatient infusion therapy center headquartered at 5225 Cleveland Rd., Suite F, Wooster, Ohio. The company administers FDA-approved intravenous and injectable medications, including biologics such as Remicade, Entyvio, Ocrevus, Actemra, Orencia, Cimzia, Benlysta, and Boniva, as well as enzyme replacement therapies (e.g., Cerezyme) and bone health treatments (Prolia), to patients with chronic autoimmune, inflammatory, rare genetic, and bone-loss conditions. Clinical operations are delivered by a small team of physicians, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses in private treatment suites equipped with power recliners, high-speed Wi-Fi, 4K TVs, and vein-viewer-assisted IV placement.

The business operates on a physician-referral model in which Pace handles insurance verification, prior authorization, and pharmaceutical copay assistance enrollment on behalf of patients, then coordinates 360-degree communication back to the referring physician. Revenue is generated by billing medical infusion services to insurance under the medical benefit, with in-network credentialing across major commercial payors (Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Humana, Medical Mutual), Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and Ohio Medicaid. The company actively negotiates limited contracts to bring specific high-cost medications in-network and leverages drug-manufacturer copay cards that can reduce patient out-of-pocket to as low as $5.

Pace Healthcare serves a regional patient base across Wayne, Holmes, Stark, and Ashland Counties in northeastern Ohio, an area that previously required travel to Cleveland, Akron, or Columbus for comparable infusion services. The center also maintains care-coordination agreements with independent infusion centers in Sarasota and The Villages, Florida, to support continuity of care for seasonal travelers. The company is privately held and founder-owned by Keith Hostetler, a pharmacist with over 30 years of healthcare experience, and operates as a bootstrapped small business with 1-10 employees and no disclosed external funding.
