AI Summary — Last 30 Days
Over the past 30 days, CMS has initiated a significant structural shift in care coordination through the launch of the Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions (ACCESS) model, enrolling over 150 digital health companies and provider organizations to test technology-driven, outcome-based payments for chronic disease management in Medicare. Notably, the model’s lean payment rates and voluntary participation reflect a strategic focus on cost control and scalable technology partnerships, but also signal tension over financial sustainability for providers. In parallel, federal momentum continues around models demanding deeper alignment between hospitals, home health agencies, and ACOs, as evidenced by proposed expansions to CJR and increased adoption of tech-enabled population health tools by leaders like Aledade and MedStar, reinforcing the sector’s commitment to care management innovation even as stakeholders grapple with new payment and operational realities.
