In 2009, CMS selected eight states to participate in the Multi-Payer Advanced Primary Care Practice Demonstration: Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont. The program evaluates the effectiveness of PCMHs for Medicare, Medicaid and private health plans.

CMS is accepting comments through July 30 on a proposed collection of information to help determine whether the three-year demo should be expanded to other states under Medicare.
