Many PCMH models are in place across the country. A variety of groups, including payer groups, state medical boards, state and federal government agencies, and national medical associations have collaborated to develop local PCMH models. Most models are initiated as demonstration projects to assess the program’s impact and cost-savings on a particular patient group, and in some cases the model targets specific disease conditions.

Numerous groups have developed resources that describe their PCMH models. The following PCMH information describes resources from key leaders in this subject area.

• The Blue Cross Blue Shield National Association reports 32 PCMH models are in place or under development.
• Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative showcase active PCMH demonstrations.
• NCQA has developed a Physician Practice Connections – Patient-Centered Medical Home (PPC-PCMH) recognition program that “recognizes physician practices functioning as PCMHs by using systematic, patient-centered and coordinated care management processes.” The NCQA Standards and Guidelines for Physician Practice Connections© are also available.
• The NCQA online Recognized Physician Directory enables individuals to find doctors who have demonstrated that they meet important standards of care, such as the PPC-PCMH.
• The American Academy of Family Practitioners physician resources.
• The American Academy of Pediatrics has a sophisticated Web page that facilitates viewers’ access to information on PCMHs by state.
• The American College of Physicians's Web page includes a list of active demonstration projects.
• In 2010 through 2012, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will conduct demonstrations projects in up to eight states encompassing about 400 medical practices, 2,000 physicians, and 400,000 Medicare beneficiaries.  Information about the Medicare PCMH Demonstration is available on the CMS website.
