North Hudson-Capital Region (NY) Comprehensive Primary Care Plus

The New Hudson-Capitol Regions of New York was one of four regions selected to participate in round 2 of the Comprehensive Primary Care Plus Initiative (CPC+) administered by CMS. CPC+ is an advanced primary care medical home model that rewards value and quality through innovative payments that support comprehensive care. CPC+ is an initiative developed by CMS that transitions Medicare fee-for-service to value-based payments in collaboration with Medicaid and commercial payers. CPC+ Round 2 regions were selected based on payer alignment and market density to ensure that CPC+ practices have sufficient payer supports to make fundamental changes in their primary care delivery. Payers in the New York Regions have partnered with Medicaid in a project that aims to strengthen primary care through regionally-based multi payer payment reform and care delivery transformation. This unique public-private partnership gives practices additional financial resources and flexibility to make investments, improve quality of life, and reduce the number of unnecessary services patients receive.
