HHS Will Deliver Value-Based Transformation in Primary Care: CMS Webinars on how the Primary Care Initiative Empowers Patients and Providers to Drive Better Value and Results

HHS Secretary Azar and CMS Administrator Verma have announced the CMS Primary Cares Initiative, a new set of payment models that will transform primary care to deliver better value for patients throughout the health care system. Administered through the CMS Innovation Center, the initiative aims to:

  *   Provide better alignment for more than 25% of all Medicare FFS beneficiaries
  *   Offer new participation and payment options and opportunities for an estimated 25% of primary care practitioners and other health care providers
  *   Create new coordinated care opportunities for a large portion of beneficiaries dually eligible for Medicaid managed care and Medicare FFS

Payment model options will support care for patients who have chronic conditions and serious illnesses through two paths:

  *   Primary Care First: focuses on access and continuity; care management; comprehensiveness and coordination; patient and caregiver engagement; and planned care and population health
  *   Direct Contracting: reduces burden, supports a focus on beneficiaries with complex conditions, and encourages participation from organizations that have not typically participated in Medicare FFS or CMS Innovation Center models
