This month, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a new advanced primary care program. Called the Making Care Primary (MCP) Model, this new initiative will be tested in eight states over the course of 10.5 years, starting July 1, 2024.

Independent physician practices remain a significant piece of the US primary care system, despite a trend by health systems, hospitals, and private equity firms to purchase and absorb these offices. According to research from the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM), between 2017–2019, 81% of family physicians still worked in independently-owned practices.

Care management programs like Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) can help physicians implement and transition to value-based care. In this video, we'll discuss three ways an RPM program can help your practice address the specific performance areas that are relevant to this healthcare model, including:

Value-based care requires providers to meet specific quality performance metrics. Failure to do so can negatively impact financial reimbursements and disappoint patient expectations. But even with these penalties, some organizations struggle to adopt this approach to primary care, as the course to do so isn't always straightforward.

There are cost-saving opportunities within value-based care. With digital solutions, such as care coordination software, it's possible to reduce exposure to financial risk and thrive. But how?

Regulations and evolving patient needs are changing healthcare reimbursement models. At the moment, physician practices and health systems must work with two prominent examples: value-based care and fee-for-service (FFS).
