During the conversation, Bacher emphasized that strengthening primary care remains a core goal of the Administration and CMS, pointing to the agency’s recently released strategic direction, which centers prevention.

Bacher also noted CMS is exploring how hybrid payments can be leveraged to enable primary care practices can build out the infrastructure and teams they need to deliver care.
