CMS’s new ACCESS model represents one of the most ambitious federal efforts to modernize chronic care through technology-supported services. This national, voluntary, decade-long model creates a new payment pathway for digital health tools, continuous monitoring, behavioral support, and other tech-enabled interventions that complement traditional care. With beneficiaries able to enroll directly and clinicians eligible for co-management payments, ACCESS introduces a fundamentally different approach to chronic condition management across Medicare.
In this webinar, Á¿×Ó×ÊÔ´Íø and Leavitt Partners experts will break down what is known today, what to expect in the forthcoming Request for Applications, and what organizations can do to prepare. We will walk through the model’s four clinical tracks, outcomes-aligned payments, beneficiary engagement expectations, the TEMPO pilot’s implications for digital device manufacturers, and how it relates to the CMS Health Tech Ecosystem initiative.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the ACCESS model’s goals, structure, and clinical tracks.
- Recognize participant and beneficiary requirements, payment approaches, and data expectations.
- Better understand how the ACCESS and ELEVATE models relate to the CMS-aligned network commitments
- Identify key steps to prepare for the upcoming RFA and assess organizational readiness.
