HCA is developing new rules for a centralized provider certification process as part of its implementation of the Washington Multi-payer Primary Care Transformation Model (PCTM). Providers statewide will be able to voluntarily participate in the model through the centralized certification process administered by HCA. Through this process, providers will be assigned a certification level from Level 1 to Level 3 based on their capacity to provide comprehensive, whole-person, primary care as delineated under the model. This certification process will provide a common measuring stick for gauging provider status under PCTM.
