Primary Care
Primary care, widely seen as the cornerstone of the health care system, is the usual source of care for many and is associated with better population health outcomes. However, access to primary care remains an issue across Washington state and reimbursement is low. Our workgroup met through 2020 to define primary care in order to support broader payment reform.
