Abstract: Teaching Health Centers Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) is an initiative to promote primary care residency training in community-based settings. The THCGME model is one of many different training models supported by the Affordable Care Act to address the shortage in primary care health providers. The statute allows THCs to receive payments for both direct and indirect costs associated with training residents in community-based ambulatory patient care centers. The Reconciliation Tool will be used to collect information relating to the number of Full-Time Equivalents (FTE) supported with THCGME payments in order to reconcile costs for both direct and indirect costs.
