  Implant costs represent one of the largest expenses for many Texas Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) . Orthopedic, spine, pain management, cardiovascular, and other specialty procedures often involve high-cost implants that require precise documentation, charge capture, coding, and reimbursement.

Primary Care First (PCF) and Alternative Payment Models

-



Primary Care First Model Options is a set of voluntary five-year payment options that reward value and quality by offering an innovative payment structure to support the delivery of advanced primary care. It will help in prioritizing the doctor-patient relationship; enhancing care for patients with complex chronic needs and high need, seriously ill patients, reducing administrative burden, and focusing financial rewards on improved health outcomes. Primary Care First Model Options will be offered in 26 regions for a 2020 start date.

Background

Primary care is central to a high-functioning healthcare system and thus, there is an urgent need to preserve and strengthen primary care as well as a need for support of serious illness care services for Medicare beneficiaries. PCF will focus on advanced primary care practices ready to assume financial risk in exchange for reduced administrative burdens and performance-based payments. PCF also encourages advanced primary care practices, including providers whose clinicians are enrolled in Medicare who typically provide hospice or palliative care services, to take responsibility for high-need, seriously ill beneficiaries who currently lack a primary care practitioner and/or effective care coordination – population groups referred to under the model as the Seriously Ill Population or SIP.
