What’s the Advisory Committee on Primary Care?

This advisory committee is a sub-committee of the Health Care Cost Transparency Board. It will develop recommendations related to the state’s 12 percent primary care spending target for the board’s review.

The committee will begin their work by recommending a definition of primary care and standards for reporting and measuring claims- and non-claims-based spending.
