Advancing Comprehensive Primary Care in Medicaid



Medicaid plays an important role in financing primary care for low-income populations. Comprehensive primary care models that offer coordinated, patient-centered care have shown significant potential for preventing or delaying the onset of chronic conditions. However, several federal policy barriers inhibit the provision of comprehensive primary care in Medicaid, including low reimbursement, provider shortages, and access to health insurance. Over the past year, the Bipartisan Policy Center has worked to identify barriers to the provision of comprehensive primary care services in Medicaid.

 

Please join our online event from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ET on July 7 as we release policy recommendations to reduce or eliminate those barriers, as well as the impact of COVID-19 on primary care providers and state Medicaid programs.
