Do all providers in a multi-site practice have to participate in the PCMH Pilot?
If a practice has multiple sites, it will designate the sites that will participate. All providers at a selected-practice site will need to participate in the Pilot. Maryland’s PCMH Pilot program requires that practice sites to submit an application for NCQA PPC-PCMH recognition within about 6 months from the start of the program. PPC-PCMH recognition is site specific and assumes that all providers working at the site participate. Designating specific sites may be an effective strategy as it is unlikely that all practice sites could be selected to participate.
