Align With Payers

Many payers acknowledge PCMH Recognition as a hallmark of high-quality care.

Earning NCQA PCMH Recognition means you are providing patient-centered care that is associated with higher quality, better patient satisfaction and a reduction in avoidable, costly visits to the ED and hospital.

As a result, many payers provide incentives to NCQA-Recognized practices. For example:

  • MACRA rewards clinicians who earn NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) and Patient-Centered Specialty Practice (PCSP) Recognition.
  • Many payers offer benefits ranging from enhanced reimbursement, to preferred provider status, to complimentary coaching/practice support.
  • The NCQA seal and your effort to improve quality can help you better negotiate with payers.
