LFP Transition Code & Form — Submit or Resubmit for 2026
Physicians enrolled in the LFP Payment Model are required to ensure that Clinic Non-panel Services do not exceed 30% of total LFP Clinic-based Services.
Transition Period
If you need time to meet this LFP requirement, a clinic transition period is available until March 31, 2026. After March 31, 2026, you must comply with the 30% limit.
To qualify for the transition exception in 2026, you must resubmit the LFP Clinic-based Services Transition Code (98001) and Transition Form between Jan 1–Mar 31, 2026.
During Transition
While you are actively transitioning your clinic-based services to LFP, you are not required to meet the 30% limit on Clinic Non-panel Services until March 31, 2026 if you submit both:
- Transition Code (98001)
- Transition Form ↗
Exceptions to the 30% Limit
Certain physicians and services are exempt from the 30% limit on Clinic Non-panel Services (no need for the Transition Code & Form):
- Locum physicians
- Rural physicians practicing in communities with Northern Isolation Allowance (NIA) premiums (since Dec 15, 2002)
- Clinic-based Pregnancy & Newborn Services: prenatal care, postnatal care, lactation support, care of newborns (up to 6 weeks), and medical abortion care
- Complex Contraception Services: procedures (IUD, contraceptive implants, vasectomies, tubal ligations), contraceptive methods for medically and socially complex patients, gender-affirming care, and referrals from a physician or allied care provider
