CMS Seeks Primary Care Practices to Enroll in Alternate Payment Model

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is asking for primary care practices to enroll in the Primary Care First Model (PFC) Cohort 2.

According to a fact sheet, the PCF aims to improve quality, enhance patient experience, and reduce expenditures by increasing patient access to advanced primary care services, including prioritizing the doctor-patient relationship, enhancing care for patients with chronic needs, and focusing financial incentives on improved outcomes.

The alternate payment model is oriented around five comprehensive primary care functions: access and continuity, care management, comprehensiveness and coordination, patient and caregiver engagement, and planned care and population health, the fact sheet says.
