4) The Bigger Issue for Us – Potential Comprehensive Primary Care Expansion
• Our “sister program” that parallels the Multipayer Advanced Primary Care Demonstration (MAPCP) approach.
▫ CPCI focus areas (milestones) largely similar to MiPCT programming Enhanced patient access and continuity of care, Planned chronic and preventive care, Risk-stratified care management, Patient and caregiver engagement, and Coordination of care across a “medical neighborhood”
• CMS staff acknowledge that (if expanded), an announcement early in 2016 is key to continuity of staffing and servicing
