Samaritan Primary Care

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.
