For people with chronic illnesses, the goal of the PCMH is to provide comprehensive care with a focus on preventing acute disease crises. One facet of the PCMH is increased preventive services. PCMH is designed to provide comprehensive and coordinated patient and family care. The patient-centered medical home is a primary care model that focuses on all levels of illness prevention. Health insurance billing is not a facet of this care delivery model.
