CMS is signaling continued commitment to technology-enabled value-based payment under the Trump administration, expanding the 10-year ACCESS Model to additional chronic-condition tracks—COPD, substance use disorder, tobacco cessation, and others—effective in 2027, with agency officials also pointing toward broader cross-payer alignment that could pull Medicaid and commercial stakeholders into similar chronic care accountability frameworks (Healthcare Dive). At the same time, hospital and provider coalitions are using the CY 2027 Physician Fee Schedule comment cycle to press CMS for ACO-friendly payment policy, lower administrative burden, better interoperability, and incentives that support innovation without weakening quality and outcome accountability (Premier). Together, these moves suggest VBC strategy is shifting from isolated Medicare demonstrations toward chronic disease platforms, digital enablement, and multi-payer scalability—while providers remain focused on whether payment updates and reporting requirements make participation financially viable.
