Vermont S0197 creates a primary care payment reform program to increase primary care spending and reduce administrative burdens for practices. The program will be voluntary for practices initially but mandatory by 2028. It will be funded by a portion of commercial health insurance premiums, premium equivalents from other payers, and public funds from Medicare and Medicaid. The program aims to cover routine primary care needs without patient cost-sharing.
