Medicaid Primary Care Payment Reform
New Mexico Medicaid Primary Care Payment Reform Value-Based Payment (PCPR VBP) Program Update:
PCPR VBP Program eligibility screening and registration will begin Monday, September 16th. Practices are strongly encouraged to register by October 14th to be eligible for the maximum quality bonus payment:
- Practices that register by October 14th will be eligible for the Q1 (July-Sept 2024) and Q2 (Oct-Dec 2024) bonus payments.
- Practices that register after October 14th will not be considered participating, and therefore not eligible for quality bonus payments, until Q3 (Jan-Mar 2025).
The Q1 reporting period will be October 1st-October 31st (previously Oct 1st-14th). We are extending the first data submission and attestation period to allow practices sufficient time for registration, onboarding, and training. More information and resources for Q1 reporting are below.
We encourage you to stay informed by regularly visiting this website for updates. Additionally, please utilize the Primary Care Provider Readiness Checklist, which has been designed to assist providers in preparing for the upcoming changes.

These are focus group-style convenings to solicit provider feedback as we design the Patient Experience of Care and SBIRT measures to be applicable to primary care practices in New Mexico.

NM PCPR Information and Resources for Data Collection and Reporting in SFY2025, Q1
Please note: Materials in this section contain the most current guidance for PCPR VBP Program data collection, submission, and analysis. As the program continues to evolve, documents in this section will be updated and should be considered your source of truth for the payment model. Information shared in previous presentations and materials was considered preliminary and subject to change.
The Q1 reporting period will be October 1st-October 31st (previously Oct 1st-14th). We are extending the first data submission and attestation period to allow practices sufficient time for registration, onboarding, and training.
All practices that register by October 14th will meet Q1 data submission requirements for Third Next Available Appointment (TNAA) and patient visits through completion of their onboarding test data submission task:
- For TNAA, practices will use the TNAA Data Collection Template (below) and may submit data collected throughout the quarter or complete a point in time collection (i.e., follow the steps under “How to Measure and Record the Data” in the TNAA data submission document (below) at any time the practice chooses).
- For patient visits, practices will use the Patient Visits Data Collection Template (below) and may submit data collected throughout the quarter or for the most recently completed month.
To meet Q1 data submission requirements for the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) and patient experience of care measures, practices must submit answers to questions about their current practices during onboarding, attend one Structural Measure Planning meeting, and complete attestation to these activities during the October 1st– 31st data submission period.
