CPC+ Round 2 Application Process is Now Open

CMS/CMMI is now accepting applications for practices in Louisiana (statewide), Nebraska (statewide), North Dakota (statewide), and the Greater Buffalo, New York region (Erie and Niagara counties). The application period will close July 13th and the second round of CPC+ will begin on January 1, 2018. For more detail on the participating payers and regions, please see the CMS website.

CMS plans to accept 1,000 primary care practices during Round 2 to join the 2,891 practices in 14 regions already participating in Round 1 of CPC+. Additionally, commercial payers and several state Medicaid agencies are partnering with CMS in the regions to provide enhanced support to the primary care practices selected to participate in CPC+.

CPC+ is also an opportunity for primary care practices of different sizes, structures, and ownership types to qualify for Advanced Alternative Payment Model status and the incentive payment through the CMS Quality Payment Program.
