Terms of Use
These Terms of Use govern access to and use of advancedprimarycaremanagement.com (the “Site”). By accessing the Site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
Editorial nature of the Site
The Site is an editorial publication covering the Advanced Primary Care Management (APCM) program and the related behavioral health integration codes established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Content is researched and written by the publication’s editorial team and is published in good faith based on primary sources — including CMS Physician Fee Schedule Final Rules, federal register notices, peer-reviewed literature, and the policy work of recognized industry bodies.
Not legal, billing, clinical, or compliance advice
Information on the Site is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not legal advice, compliance advice, billing advice, reimbursement advice, regulatory advice, clinical advice, or coding advice. CMS code policy, payment rates, documentation requirements, and program rules change frequently and may differ in their application to a specific practice’s circumstances.
Do not rely on the Site as your sole source for billing, compliance, or operational decisions. Practices considering APCM adoption should consult their billing leadership, compliance counsel, certified medical coders, and qualified implementation partners.
Reimbursement ranges, rate references, and policy descriptions on the Site reflect publicly available CMS rulemaking as cited within each entry. The publication makes no representation as to current rates or rule status as applied to any specific practice or patient.
Implementation partners
The Site may direct readers who request a partner conversation to one or more implementation partners. The publication may have a commercial relationship with those partners. Editorial coverage is independent of any such relationship: content is not paid for, edited, or approved by partners, and the publication does not represent partners’ services beyond directing inquiries.
Accuracy and updates
The publication makes reasonable efforts to keep content current and accurate. CMS policy changes faster than the Site’s update cadence, and entries may not reflect the most recent rulemaking at any given moment. Each entry carries a “Last updated” date. Readers should verify any time-sensitive policy or rate detail against current CMS documentation before acting on it.
Intellectual property
All content on the Site is the property of the publisher unless otherwise indicated. You may share links to Site content and quote brief excerpts with attribution and a link back to the source page. You may not reproduce, republish, or distribute Site content in full without prior written permission.
Third-party links
The Site links to third-party resources — CMS, federal register, NAACOS, AAFP, MedPAC, peer-reviewed publishers, and others. The publication is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of third-party sites.
Disclaimer of warranties
The Site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, or non-infringement.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the publisher, its editorial team, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Site or its content.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the “Effective” date at the top of this page.
