Summary of CMS’s Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) Model

Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) is a national advanced primary care medical home model that aims to strengthen primary care through a regionally-based multi-payer payment reform and care delivery transformation. The model builds upon the lessons learned from the Comprehensive Primary Care (CPC) initiative, and input from the 2015 Request for Information on Advanced Primary Care Model Concepts. The focus of this call was to provide an overview of the aspects of the model relevant to three major groups: health plans, vendors, and primary care practices. Aimed at achieving the delivery system reform core objectives of better care, smarter spending, and healthier people in primary care, the model’s advanced care delivery and payment will allow practices to provide more comprehensive care to meet the needs of all patients, particularly, those with more complex healthcare needs.
