Maryland is entering into a Total Cost of Care All-Payer Model contract with the federal government in January 2019 that is designed to coordinate care for patients across both hospital and non-hospital settings, improve health outcomes, and constrain the growth of health care costs in Maryland.  A key element of the model is the development of Maryland Primary Care Program (MDPCP).  The MDPCP is a voluntary program open to all Maryland qualifying primary care providers designed to support the delivery of advanced primary care throughout the state.  The MDPCP will support the overall health care transformation in Maryland and allow primary care providers to play a more integrated and powerful role in prevention, management of chronic disease, and assuring care is provided in the most efficient and effective setting in the community.
