July 10, 2024

On June 8, 2023, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a new voluntary primary care model – the Making Care Primary (MCP) Model – that will be tested in eight states. 

Beginning July 1, 2024 the 10.5-year model will improve care management and care coordination, equip primary care clinicians with tools to form partnerships with health care specialists, and leverage community-based connections to address patients’ health needs as well as their health-related social needs (HRSNs) such as housing and nutrition. CMS is working with State Medicaid Agencies in eight states – Colorado, North Carolina, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Minnesota, Massachusetts and Washington – to engage in full care transformation across payers, with plans to engage private payers in the coming months.

Attached, please find the list of practices that are now participating in the CMS Making Care Primary model being tested in selected states across the country (including NYS).
