Join PCPCM Community of Practice (CoP) Sessions

Since February, AMA-ACTT has welcomed over 400 registrants to our PCPCM Live & on Call with AMA series, a space for physicians and teams to hear the latest news about the model, learn about updates to resources and get questions answered in real time for implementation. May 2nd will be the last session of the series before we launch the new PCPCM CoP!

Hosted by physician leaders and AMA-ACTT, these informal, drop-in sessions are designed to help you confidently align your clinic operations with the model’s requirements and principles, helping you optimize the model with timely solutions and support.

What to Expect

More peer-to-peer engagement time with breakout rooms.
As often as possible, physician-led content will be offered twice every week, giving busy physicians and teams more chances to participate.
Live Q&A with the AMA-ACTT team and physician leaders will continue.

Who Can Attend

These sessions are designed for physicians and clinic teams who are enroled in the PCPCM and those who are planning to enrol or are awaiting their BA.

New Resource: Billing for Time by EMR

Physicians can bill for time using a non-patient-specific Unique Lifetime Identifier (ULI). This resource provides tips for doing this in your EMR and links to detailed guides, as they are made available. Like Fee-for-Service, claims must be submitted within 90 days of the patient encounter. LEARN MORE

New Resource: Payment Schedule

While PCPCM payments have already begun, we've created a quick guide to help physicians and teams understand when time, encounter, administration and panel payments will be received alongside associated deadlines and how to resubmit rejected claims. LEARN MORE
