Care Delivery Redesign-Savvy Practices Prep for CPC+

CMS’s new primary care payment model represents an opportunity for physicians practices experienced in care redesign to be compensated for those efforts. It signals to all groups that it’s time to get serious about improving outcomes.

Major physician groups are applauding the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ announcement last week about its Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) payment model, the new-and-improved successor to its CPC program.

Given the investments required of medical groups to transform their practices into patient-centered medical homes, it’s of little surprise that organizations such as the American Medical Association, American Academy of Family Physicians, and American College of Physicians generally welcome the opportunity to be compensated for their efforts, and with the flexibility to do so via one of two tracks.
