The Primary Care VBP Model envisioned by the VBP Compact Workgroup is anticipated to include the following services and codes within per member per month (PMPM) capitation payments to primary care practices:

  1. Office or outpatient visit for an established patient (99211-99215)
  2. Office or outpatient visit for a new patient (99202-99205)
  3. Telephone calls for patient management (99441-99443)
  4. Prolonged physician services (99354, 99355, 99358- 99360)
  5. Preventive medicine counseling or risk reduction intervention (99401-99404)
  6. Preventive medicine counseling initial evaluation (99381-99387)
  7. Preventive medicine periodic re-evaluation (99391-99429)

The above list of codes is typical of codes included in primary care capitation contracts by Medicaid and commercial payers in Oregon. Practices should anticipate that any code not specifically included in the primary care capitation payments is excluded from the PMPM amount and could be billed separately by the practice where appropriate.
