Community Care Partnership of Maine

What Community Care Partnership of Maine does

Community Care Partnership of Maine (CCPM) is a clinically integrated network and Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) Accountable Care Organization (ACO) incorporated in Maine in 2015. It aggregates 22 nonprofit member organizations - 17 Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and 5 community/critical access hospitals - that collectively serve approximately 25% of Maine's population, with a particular emphasis on rural and underserved communities. Each member CEO sits on the Board of Managers with equal 5% voting power, making CCPM a member-governed entity without external equity ownership.

CCPM's product surface is a layered suite of centralized member services built to lower administrative burden and raise clinical quality across independent rural providers. Core offerings include a Continuing Medical Education (CME) library with accredited modules covering chronic disease management, opioid/controlled-substance stewardship, HCC risk-adjustment coding, and clinical AI; a centralized Pre-Visit Planning Service that has completed more than 30,000 pre-visit plans and saved 5,000+ care-team hours; a Virtual Specialty Curbside Consult platform connecting roughly 250 primary care providers to specialists across 30+ disciplines (5,000+ consults completed, 1,900+ avoided specialist/ED visits, $1M+ in averted costs); a Policy & Procedure Repository; Primary Care Operations Support; Resources for Care Managers; and Toolkits for Medical Assistants. The organization also recently launched a Rural Healthcare Workforce Learning & Clinical Implementation Hub (June 2026) financed by a $940K philanthropic investment and integrates with HealthInfoNet, Maine's statewide health information exchange.

Commercially, CCPM operates a non-equity value-based-care revenue model. It participates in the MSSP (9 consecutive years of shared savings, $98.2M+ cumulative savings generated, $40.4M cumulative net payments to members), serves as an Accountable Care Lead Entity in the MaineCare (Medicaid) Accountable Care Program, and centrally negotiates and manages 12 value-based payment arrangements with various payers. It supplements operating revenue with restricted grant funding from federal and philanthropic sources including HRSA, the Northern Border Regional Commission, and the John T. Gorman Foundation. CCPM does not disclose member fees or pricing; the economic engine is shared-savings distribution and grant-funded program delivery across a single-state member base.

Others

• InnovAge Holding Corp. InnovAge runs the PACE program, a Medicare/Medicaid value-based care model for frail seniors; comparable as a value-based healthcare delivery organization dependent on government payer programs.
• HealthInfoNet (Maine HIE): HealthInfoNet is Maine's statewide Health Information Exchange and a CCPM integration partner; included as an ecosystem/adjacent peer rather than a direct competitor.

Direct peers

• agilon health: agilon health partners with primary care physicians on Medicare value-based care and ACO REACH-style contracts, with a similar network-of-independent-PCPs model and shared-savings economics to CCPM.
• Privia Health: Privia Health operates a national physician enablement and ACO platform providing shared services, value-based contracts, and population health infrastructure to independent practices — closely analogous to CCPM's centralized services model.
• Aledade: Aledade partners with independent primary care practices, including FQHCs and rural providers, to form ACOs and capture shared savings in MSSP and other value-based contracts — directly comparable to CCPM's member-centric ACO model.
• Astrana Health (formerly Apollo Medical Holdings): Astrana Health is a publicly traded ACO and value-based care organization managing risk for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries through IPA-style networks — comparable in business model and revenue mix to CCPM.

Regional players

• MaineHealth Accountable Care Organization: MaineHealth ACO is a competing MSSP ACO serving Maine providers; a direct in-state peer competing for similar members, practices, and shared-savings allocations in the same geography.

Broad incumbents

• VillageMD: VillageMD is a large value-based primary care organization with significant ACO capabilities; comparable in that it operates primary-care-led ACOs, but at much larger national scale.
• ChenMed: ChenMed operates senior-focused, value-based primary care clinics generating shared savings from Medicare; while clinic-owned rather than network-based, the underlying MSSP-style economics are similar.

Emerging players

• Caravan Health (now part of CVS Health / Oak Street Health): Caravan Health built ACOs for community health systems and rural hospitals and was acquired by Signify Health/Oak Street, with a very similar community-rural ACO model now hosted within a larger platform.
