The Comprehensive Primary Care Plus Model and Health Care Spending, Service Use, and Quality.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Implemented in 18 regions, Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) was the largest US primary care delivery model ever tested. Understanding its association with health outcomes is critical in designing future transformation models.

Objective

To test whether CPC+ was associated with lower health care spending and utilization and improved quality of care.

Design, setting, and participants

Difference-in-differences regression models compared changes in outcomes between the year before CPC+ and 5 intervention years for Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries attributed to CPC+ and comparison practices. Participants included 1373 track 1 (1 549 585 beneficiaries) and 1515 track 2 (5 347 499 beneficiaries) primary care practices that applied to start CPC+ in 2017
