City Care Partners
Better care. Coordinated for you.
City Care Partners was founded by people who believe primary care is the foundation of a healthy community — and that primary care practices deserve a partner that strengthens them rather than absorbs them.
We are an ACO purpose-built for the CMS LEAD Model. That means:
The LEAD Model establishes performance benchmarks that remain stable for ten years, allowing the value you create to compound rather than reset every few years. We chose this model because we believe in building something durable.
Joining City Care Partners does not require you to sell your practice, change your billing systems, or surrender clinical autonomy. We bring you the data, tools, and support — you keep running your practice your way.
The LEAD Model was designed with smaller, independent, and rural practices in mind. Reduced alignment minimums, rural add-on payments, and softened certification requirements all make participation more accessible than prior programs.
The CMS Administered Risk Arrangements (CARA) framework gives us structured ways to bring specialists into the care team — with templates and infrastructure that previously required years to build.
Successful participation in the LEAD Model can generate meaningful additional revenue through shared savings, capitation arrangements, and the LEAD Model's preventive care and beneficiary engagement incentives.
Key features that make the LEAD Model different from previous ACO programs.
