Practice Agreement Facilitation Guide

As physicians prepare to transition to the PCPCM, they may wish to review existing practice agreements and make changes to reflect the new compensation structure.

Practice Agreement Facilitation Guide for the Primary Care Physician Compensation Model (PCPCM)  


The purpose of this guide is to help facilitate conversations and provide suggestions for practice agreement terms under different scenarios. This resource can support physicians in starting and managing their practice.
It does not constitute legal or accounting advice, nor is it intended to replace the advice of professionals.  

AMA's Practice Agreement Discussion Notes Template is an accompanying tool that can support practice agreement development and revisions. The template has been created to structure discussions, note questions and allow physicians to work through conflicts. Once final, this template can be given to legal counsel to form the terms of the agreement.
