PCF PECS Model Termination
Other AnnouncementsPosted March 28, 2025

On March 12, 2025, the CMS Innovation Center announced updates to its model portfolio to better align with its statutory mandate and strategic goals. The Innovation Center regularly evaluates models based on projected savings, quality outcomes, compliance with legal requirements, and operational feasibility.

Following this evaluation, the Center decided to conclude the Primary Care First (PCF) model one year earlier than originally planned. Consequently, the PCF model will now end on December 31, 2025, for both Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 participants. As a result of this accelerated timeline, the PEC Survey for the 2025 performance year has been canceled, effective immediately. PCF practices are no longer required to authorize a vendor or submit patient rosters.

PCF practices who participated in the PY 2024 PEC Survey will receive the PCF PEC Summary Score reports in June. If vendors wish to provide their practice clients with their own reports for PY 2024, you may still do so assuming your reports comply with the requirements found in Section 8.4 of the Quality Assurance Guidelines.

The PCF PEC Survey team greatly appreciates each vendor’s contributions to the PCF PEC Survey’s successes since the beginning of the PCF Model. We value your partnership and thank you for all of your efforts.

If you have any questions, please contact the PCF PEC Survey team via email at pcfpecs@rti.org or call 1-833-997-2715. If you receive questions from your practice clients about this update, please refer them to PCF Support via email at PCF@telligen.com or by phone at 1-888-517-7753.
