Synthesis:
This week saw significant momentum in federal value-based care policy, with CMS advancing the LEAD (Long-term Enhanced ACO Design) Model, set to run 2027–2036, introducing locked-in benchmark years and expanded specialist risk-sharing—moves that signal a shift toward Medicare Advantage-like flexibility within Traditional Medicare and have notable implications for provider organizations and ACOs (Wakely white paper, JD Supra overview). At the same time, CMS announced the selection of 150 digital health companies and providers for the ACCESS Model, underscoring the increasing integration of virtual care and technology-driven solutions into accountable care arrangements and intensifying focus on workforce shortages and care team innovation.
