Are you prepared for the changes that have occurred for Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) recognition? In 2018, New York State aligned with NCQA and going forward, all practices must now also meet New York core requirements in order to maintain or initially pursue PCMH recognition and qualify for financial incentives. The good news is that if you are primary care/pediatric practice in Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Orleans, Wyoming, Allegany or Cattaraugus counties, you can receive FREE transformation services through enrollment with New York eHealth Collaborative:
New York State Patient-Centered Medical Home (NYS PCMH)
As of 2019, all practices selected for the CPC + program in Erie County are now eligible for these services as well.
Services are provided by Strategic Interests LLC on behalf of New York eHealth Collaborative (NYeC). SI’s PCMH team includes Certified Content Expert (CCE), NCQA reviewer and practice transformation experience. If you are new to PCMH recognition, we will help you plan and prepare your practice throughout the steps. In all cases, we will help you understand the requirements, gather the data and submit prior to your expiration. For PCMH Level 3 practices, up to nine months of services are available. For PCMH Level 1 or 2 practices, or those new to recognition, 15 months of services are available.
