This is a summary of findings from Mathematica’s independent evaluation of the second year of Primary Care First, an alternative payment model that seeks to enhance primary care and move practitioners toward value-based payments.
This report presents findings from Mathematica’s independent evaluation of the second year of the Primary Care First model. The model is a continuation of CMS’ efforts to enhance primary care and move primary care practitioners toward value-based payment.
The final report presents findings from the independent evaluation of the five years of CPC+ for practices that began the model in 2017. The report examines CPC+ participation, supports, implementation, and impacts.
The Findings at a Glance provides a brief overview of key findings from the independent evaluation of the five years of CPC+, for practices that began the model in 2017.
The appendices to the final report provide detailed information about the data, methods, analyses, and findings from the independent evaluation of the five years of CPC+ for the 2,905 practices in regions that began CPC+ in 2017.

Understanding what drives fragmented ambulatory care (care spread across multiple providers without a dominant provider) can inform the design of future interventions to reduce unnecessary fragmentation.
We used 2019 survey data to measure primary care physicians’ perceptions of communication with specialist physicians. We found that large gaps in communication have persisted over the last decade.
This article examines the association between a large-scale primary care redesign—the Comprehensive Primary Care Plus Initiative—and ambulatory care patterns of Medicare beneficiaries with highly fragmented care.
The Appendices to the Third Annual Report provide detailed information about the data, methods, analyses, and findings from the independent evaluation of the first three years of CPC+ for the practices that began the model in 2017.
The Third Annual Report presents findings from the independent evaluation of the first three years of CPC+ for practices that began the model in 2017. The report examines CPC+ participation, supports, implementation, and impacts.
This study finds that greater access to the primary care practice and more effective primary care both likely contributed to the lower growth in emergency department and urgent care center visits during the Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative.
This report describes the implementation and impacts of the Independence at Home demonstration over its first four years. Also, the report examines whether home-based primary care reduces Medicare expenditures and hospital use.
This paper used longitudinal data from the Youth Transition Demonstration (YTD) evaluation’s baseline, 1-year and 3-year surveys to identify causal estimates of the relationship between early work experience and later employment among youth with disabilities.
Performance feedback is central to data-driven models of quality improvement, but the use of claims-based data for feedback has received little attention.
Project SEARCH has emerged as a promising program to address the challenges related to improving employment outcomes of youth with disabilities.
This is an interim evaluation report for the Partnership for Patients (PfP) campaign. The goals of the evaluation were to assess the reduction in inpatient harms and readmissions during the period 2011–2014, and to assess, if possible, the contribution that PfP made to those reductions.
This issue brief summarizes the findings in Mathematica’s final report on the evaluation of the Social Security Administration’s Youth Transition Demonstration projects, which provided employment-focused services and enhanced financial work incentives to youth with severe disabilities.
