Medicaid Primary Care Alternative Payment Model

"The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing is excited to provide you with updated information on the Primary Care APM:

APM Resources

The APM Survival Guide is now available on the Department's website here.  The Guide provides a good overview of the information providers need to know to begin getting ready for the APM and here is a link to detailed resources (measures, code set, timeline, and model) on the Department's website. 

Implementation Workgroup

As the Department of Health Care Policy & Financing moves forward with Alternative Payment Model for Primary Care (APM), a workgroup is forming to assist with the implementation of the APM.  Similar to the process used to design the APM, the Department is looking for representation from primary care physicians, primary care practice coordinators, office managers, and Regional Care Collaborative Organization representatives.  The group would provide feedback and input on how best to implement the APM and help the Department understand the impact of operational decisions. 

The time commitment would be one 60-90 minute meeting every other month.  A kick-off meeting will be scheduled in November and meetings scheduled every other month thereafter.  There would be a call-in option for those unable to attend in person. 

If you are interested in participating in the Implementation Workgroup please respond to this email.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns.

Thank you,

The Delivery System Reform Team
