Patient-Centered Medical Home
Alliance Primary Care of New Jersey
A Patient Centered Medical Home is a model of health care where the care is “centered” around your needs; providing
- same-day appointment
- information regarding a particular disease or diagnosis
- phone calls returned on a timely basis.
- coordination of your care with all your providers
- preventive services to maintain your health
- patient engagement outside of your visit
Your doctor leads a team of health care professionals that collectively provide medical needs – both in wellness and in illness.
What is your role?
- actively participate in your care
- ask questions and share information
- prepare for your visits- bring your medications, immunization records, personal health records- to help your care team provide the most care to you
- provide us a list of all your physicians and providers
- inform us when you visit specialists
- inform us when you are hospitalized or visit the emergency room
Primary Care First
Alliance Primary Care of New Jersey’s Participation in
Primary Care First (PCF) Is Ending
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will be ending the Primary Care First (PCF) Model for all participating practices, effective December 31, 2025. All Beneficiary Engagement Incentive(s) and any Benefit Enhancements associated with the PCF Model will also end on this date. We want to assure you that, despite this change, the quality of care you receive at our practice will remain consistent and unchanged.
Please be aware that the conclusion of our participation in the PCF Model does not change your Medicare benefits. Your doctor may continue to recommend that you see particular doctors for your specific health needs, but it is always your choice which doctor you use or hospital you visit. You continue to have the right to use or visit any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare, at any time.
Questions?
If you have questions or concerns, please contact [doctor or other point of contact name] at [phone number] or bring it up next time you have an appointment.
