CMS is signaling a more assertive VBC posture under the Trump administration: CMMI is advancing the voluntary ACCESS model with 150 participants to tie Medicare payment for chronic disease management to measurable outcomes and technology-enabled care, while CMS is also proposing CJR-X, a mandatory nationwide joint replacement bundle that would expand hospital accountability for episode cost, recovery, and post-acute coordination. Together, ACCESS and CJR-X point to a dual-track strategy: test scalable, tech-enabled population health in voluntary models while reintroducing mandatory episode-based accountability where CMS sees clearer savings opportunities. For ACOs, hospitals, and specialty groups, the strategic tension is shifting from whether VBC will persist to whether organizations can operationalize quality measurement, care management, post-acute alignment, and specialty cost control fast enough to succeed across both voluntary and compulsory payment models.
