Primary care played a starring role in a bipartisan April 11th Senate Finance Committee hearing, Bolstering Chronic Care through Medicare Physician Payment, led by Chairman Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Ranking Member MIke Crapo (R-ID).
With PCC members and team in attendance, Chairman Wyden responded directly to a recommendation from hearing witness Amol Navathe, MD, PhD that Congress create a path to scaling hybrid primary care payment, saying, “I like that idea very much.” Dr. Navathe is a physician and Professor at the Unversity of Pennsylvania.
