Starting in July 2024, the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will begin piloting the Making Care Primary Model at organizations in 8 states—Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, and Washington. In addition to improving care coordination, helping primary care clinicians connect with specialists, and strengthening connections with community-based organizations, the approach will likely reduce health care costs, the agency said in a statement.
