The Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM), in a desire to enhance the current Comprehensive Primary Care (CPC) model to further support pediatric population health priorities, has launched plans for a “CPC for Kids” component of the Ohio CPC program to begin in the 2020 program year. ODM has been meeting with stakeholder groups to develop program design. Thanks to Jeff Harwood, MD, and Sanford Kimmel, MD, for representing the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians during these stakeholder meetings.
Medicaid Medical Director Mary Applegate, MD, released an initial outline of the “CPC for Kids” program on June 21.
