Reveals that Medicare alternative payment models improve primary care features, suggesting a path for enhancing care delivery.

Of TM APMs assessed, only hybrid payment models with no financial risk showed a significant association with PCP improvement on all essential features of primary care. While methodological limitations preclude asserting a causal relationship, these findings support continued efforts to improve primary care for Medicare beneficiaries through hybrid payments to practices without imposing downside financial risk on PCPs.
