The state of primary care: Testing the PCO Flex model

Primary Care Collaborative President and CEO Ann Greiner, MCP, said the organization is optimistic about the PC FLEX model, a new Medicare payment initiative within the Shared Savings Program (SSP), because primary care-led ACOs have already demonstrated cost savings while maintaining or improving quality. By providing additional investment to primary care through a hybrid model, PC FLEX aims to enhance care coordination, improve patient outcomes, and further reduce healthcare costs.
