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.
But there’s a catch. These codes come with new requirements, including participation in the Value in Primary Care MIPS Value Pathway (MVP) for eligible clinicians.
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
