The CMS Innovation Center has selected five hundred primary care practices in eight states to participate in the Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative.
Under the Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative, CMS will pay primary care practices a care management fee to coordinate services for Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries. Participating commercial, state and other federal insurance plans will also offer enhanced payment to primary care practices that are designed to support them in providing high-quality primary care on behalf of their members.
This four year public-private partnership is designed to test a model of improved access to quality healthcare at lower costs. The 500 practices were selected through a competitive application process and will start delivering enhanced healthcare services this fall.
