In late April, CMS announced plans to encourage primary care practices to participate in value-based payment arrangements under new “Primary Care First” models. A specific Primary Care First model – the High Need Model — is designed to serve Seriously Ill Population (SIP) patients. CMS anticipates that Medicare-enrolled clinicians who provide hospice or palliative care services would be able to provide care under this model either by participating directly through a group practice or by partnering with a Primary Care First-participating practice. CMMI is still considering ways to increase options for hospice organization involvement in the model.
CMS is offering a free webinar to provide additional information on eligibility, quality measures, and payments for those interested in participation in the Seriously Ill Population model.
