This is a summary of the findings from the third annual report of the evaluation of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Primary Care First Model (PCF). In 2021, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation launched the PCF Model in 26 regions across the United States. PCF tests the impact of financial risk incentives and performance-based payments on advanced primary care practices, aiming to reduce acute hospitalizations, lower total Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) expenditures, and improve patient health outcomes. The third annual report covers the evaluation’s findings through the end of 2023.
