CMS Announces Multistate Initiative for Primary Care

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced the Making Care Primary (MCP) model which aims to provide high-quality primary care through better coordination across care providers, including primary care, specialists, social services, and behavioral health clinicians. Participants will receive additional resources (including prospective payments to reduce reliance on fee-for-service), data, tools, and support to build infrastructures that support the goals of the MCP model.
