Abstract: The Multi-payer Advanced Primary Care Practice (MAPCP) Demonstration was announced by Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in September 2009 to allow Medicare to join state Medicaid programs and private insurers in participating states to improve the delivery of primary care. CMS selected eight states to participate in this demonstration: Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, and Minnesota. CMS is conducting an evaluation of the demonstration to assess the effects of advanced primary care practice when supported by Medicare, Medicaid, and private health plans. As part of this evaluation,in-person focus groups with beneficiaries and their caregivers will be conducted. Six focus groups will be conducted in each of the eight participating states, spread across Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries and caregivers of beneficiaries. Special populations ineach participating state (e.g., persons with chronic illnesses, mental illnesses, and disabilities; Medicare and Medicaid dual eligibles; and people living in rural or inner-city areas) will be represented.
