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.
