Montana Primary Care Provider Survey
To Montana Primary Care Providers:
The Montana Patient-Centered Medical Home Program is conducting a survey of providers not yet qualified in the program to learn
more about your understanding, experiences and questions regarding PCMH. Your answers to the eleven questions below will help
the CSI and stakeholder council develop strategies to assist non-participating clinics. Thank you in advance for your time and
participation.
What is a PCMH?
A patient-centered medical home is a team of healthcare professionals that transform their focus from treating illness to keeping
patients healthy. A PCMH utilizes a “team” of primary care providers to coordinate all aspects of a patient’s health. The care team
engages the patient as an active participant in their healthcare. PCMHs leverage technology to identify gaps in care for better disease
prevention and management.
Background
In April 2013, the Montana PCMH law was passed by the Montana Legislature. A PCMH healthcare provider must apply for
qualification and receive approval from the Commissioner of Securities and Insurance before promoting itself as a medical home and
receiving enhanced reimbursement from insurers and Medicaid. As of April 2016, there are 64 Montana PCMH clinics.
