CMS Releases the Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) Application

CMS opened the application for practices to apply for Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+), the largest-ever initiative to improve primary care in America. CPC+ rewards value and quality through an innovative payment structure to support comprehensive primary care. CPC+ is an advanced primary care medical home model that will strengthen primary care through a regionally-based multi-payer payment reform and care delivery transformation.

In CPC+, CMS has provisionally selected 57 payer partners, including multiple commercial insurers, state Medicaid agencies, Medicaid managed care organizations, and Medicare Advantage plans in 14 regions across the nation. The CPC+ regions were selected based on payer alignment and market density to ensure that CPC+ practices have sufficient payer support to make fundamental changes in their primary care delivery.
