Access to high-quality primary care contributes to better health outcomes and equity for people and communities. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced that it will seek to improve access by testing the new Making Care Primary model in eight states
"The goal of the Making Care Primary Model is to improve care for people with Medicaid and Medicare," CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure said. "This model is one more pathway CMS is taking to improve access to care and quality of care, especially to those in rural areas and other underserved populations.
