APCM
Advanced Primary Care Management
We’re thrilled to share that our practice has been recognized as one of the best in the region for the exceptional quality of care we provide. This honor reflects our entire team's hard work and dedication to deliver top-notch care inside and outside the exam room.
You may not see the work we do behind the scenes—coordinating your care, expanding access with hours 7 days a week (including weekends and walk-ins), and serving as the hub of your healthcare. Starting January 1, 2025, Medicare will officially recognize and reimburse us for this critical work.
Here’s what this means for YOU:
-
Your care stays the same.
-
You can help us keep delivering the exceptional care you trust.
All we need is your permission to bill Medicare for these services. It’s quick, simple, and helps us continue supporting your health at the highest level.
Text MCR2025 to 484-729-9528 to grant permission.
Thank you for your support, trust, and loyalty!

Enrollment in APCM is completely voluntary, and you can unenroll at any time.
If you are receiving a bill for a patient cost share (usually $8-10 per month) and this represents a financial hardship, please contact us at (610) 363-0100.
Voluntary Alignment
Establish CMMD as your medical home-base
ACTION STEP:
Let's Make it Official!
You love your primary clinician at CMMD, and man, do we love you. Let's make it official in the eyes of the world – or at least, Medicare.
We encourage our Medicare Part B patients to visit Medicare.gov and select your CMMD provider as your primary care provider. Instructions are below for this voluntary process, including how to create a Medicare account if you do not already have one:

Questions? Contact Kelly at our office:
Why do this? We participate in several Medicare Quality Programs. In order for us to ensure we are providing the best care possible to our patient population, it is important for us to be able to identify our population. Once you align to us, we know that you are “our patient” and this will help us gauge our performance in our quality programs!
Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean you can only see one provider on our team. While it is important for the continuity of your care to designate your primary provider, you are free to see other people in the practice at any time. And although we can’t wait to tie the knot, if at any point our relationship ends, un-alignment with our practice can be done by logging back into Medicare.gov and making that change.
Our “marriage” also does not in any way limit your access to specialists, but we do ask that you always start with us before consulting with a specialist. Just like I know (better than he does) the vegetables my husband likes, we can help you navigate a sea of different specialists. We will advocate for you and ensure you NEVER get asparagus when you only like green beans. After all – in a marriage, you must advocate for your spouse. That is what we will continue to do for you.
While we think this is the logical next step in our relationship, we want you to be comfortable. So, please reach out with any questions to kelly@christinemeyermd.com, or call our office at (610) 363-0100 to reach Kelly.

Annual Wellness Visit
AWVs keep you healthy, and us informed
ACTION STEP:
Once a year, let's get together.
While we love being your trusted partner when you're sick, sick appointments don't give us time to cover your overall health. That's why we're big fans of Medicare's Annual Wellness Visit, a comprehensive check-up for seniors that is designed to monitor and maintain overall health. This visit not only helps in early detection of potential issues, but also fosters communication between you and your clinical team.
During this visit, your clinician will take your vital signs, review your medical history and new medical events from the past year, and discuss concerns or changes in your health status. They may (but don't always need to) conduct screenings for conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, and recommend preventive measures or vaccinations.
It's not a physical – you might not even change into a gown! But it will help us collect key data, know your concerns, and get you on the schedule if there's a medical matter that we should dig into more deeply.
Text AWV
to 484-729-9528
to start a scheduling chat with our front desk team,
or you can always call us at (610) 363-0100.
We'll check to make sure you're due for an annual wellness visit, and get you on the schedule.
Remote Patient Monitoring
Let's put your data to work.
Ever hear of "white-coat syndrome"?
That's when a patient's blood pressure can be overly inflated during a visit to the doctor's office. We get it – you're sitting on an exam table, crinkling that awkward paper beneath you, likely not feeling well, with a clinician looking over your shoulder. But this situation proves that the old adage, "Data doesn't lie," isn't really complete – a single data point can lie. To learn from your data, we need more of it.
That's why we offer a Remote Patient Monitoring program for certain metrics like weight and blood pressure. Patients take measurements on regular intervals at home, and the data transmits to us via cell signal, automatically. We use these readings to pick up on trends over time, inform treatment and medication options, and to see how interventions are (or are not) working. We're putting you in control of the measurement environment – and putting the resulting data to work.
There's nothing you need to do to enroll – your clinician will recommend an RPM program if (s)he feels it is necessary or beneficial.
ACTION STEP:
No action needed; your clinician will recommend an RPM program for you as needed.
Did you know? We're part of an ACO!
Our office participates in a Medicare Shared Savings program known as an Accountable Care Organization (ACO). An ACO is a group of doctors and other healthcare providers who agree to work together with Medicare to give you the best possible coordinated care. The goal of the ACO is to support us in caring for you by making sure we have the most up-to-date information about your health and your care.
Please read the notification here (PDF) to learn more about the ACO.
Our participation does not change your Medicare benefits. You are entitled to all the same Medicare services, benefits, and protections. Please contact our office with any questions about our participation in this program.
Sincerely,
Christine Meyer, MD and Associates
CMMD Participation in Primary Care First (PCF) Is Ending
Posted December 18, 2025
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will be ending the Primary Care First (PCF) Model for all participating practices, effective December 31, 2025. All Beneficiary Engagement Incentive(s) and any Benefit Enhancements associated with the PCF Model will also end on this date. We want to assure you that, despite this change, the quality of care you receive at our practice will remain consistent and unchanged.
Please be aware that the conclusion of our participation in the PCF Model does not change your Medicare benefits. Your doctor may continue to recommend that you see particular doctors for your specific health needs, but it is always your choice which doctor you use or hospital you visit. You continue to have the right to use or visit any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare, at any time.
Questions? If you have questions or concerns, please contact Sue Carroll at sue@christinemeyermd.com or bring it up next time you have an appointment.
For general questions regarding the PCF Model, please visit: https://www.cms.gov/priorities/innovation/innovation-models/primary-care-firstmodel-options
For information regarding your Medicare benefits, please contact Medicare directly at 1-800-MEDICARE.

Sorting through Medicare options and information can be overwhelming and complicated. We think no patient—or caregiver—should have to navigate Medicare options alone, uncertain of how to enroll, what costs they may encounter, or what programs can help them fill in the gaps.
Whether you are a Medicare enrollee or a caregiver, a one-on-one meeting or phone call with a broker can help you understand eligibility, the differences between each Medicare plan, and prescription coverage (including minimizing your out-of-pocket costs). Call us today for a referral to an agent!
