In 2025, Medicare introduced three new Advanced Primary Care Management (APCM) codes —G0556, G0557, and G0558 — to support streamlined, comprehensive care for patients with chronic conditions. These codes not only simplify billing but are also tied to performance reporting under the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). This post breaks down what providers need to know.

What primary care providers must know about billing, compliance, and MIPS MVPs in 2025
In 2025, CMS launched a significant evolution in its commitment to primary care: the Advanced Primary Care Management (APCM) codes. These codes — G0556, G0557, and G0558 — are designed to simplify billing, support patient-centered care, and advance health equity for patients with chronic conditions.

In this post, we’ll break down:
- What APCM codes are
- Who can bill them
- How they differ from existing care management codes
- What’s required for MIPS compliance
- What happens if you don’t report
- What steps your practice should take next
