73 Colorado Primary Care Practices to Participate in Initiative

The CMS Innovation Center selected 73 Colorado primary care practices to participate in the Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative. The practices represent 335 primary care practitioners serving approximately 41,000 Medicare beneficiaries across urban and rural Colorado.

The Comprehensive Primary Care (CPC) initiative is a multi-payer initiative fostering collaboration between public and private healthcare payers to strengthen primary care. Medicare will work with commercial and state health insurance plans and offer bonus payments to primary care doctors who better coordinate care for their patients. Primary care practices that choose to participate in this initiative will be given resources to better coordinate primary care for their Medicare patients.
