The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services July 10 announced there will be 133 participants representing 772 practices for its new Making Care Primary (MCP) Model.
Participants in this voluntary program are from Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, and Washington. The model, which began July 1 and will run through 2034, seeks to improve care management and care coordination, enable primary care clinicians to partner with healthcare specialists, and use community-based connections to address patients’ health needs as well as their health-related social needs such as housing and nutrition. MCP provides primary care clinicians with enhanced model payments, tools, and supports to improve the health outcomes of their patients.
