CMS Launches Medicare Chronic Care Model with Tech-Enabled Payment Structure

CMS has introduced the ACCESS Model, a voluntary ten-year demonstration for Medicare Part B providers to receive outcome-based payments for technology-supported chronic condition management starting July 2026. While the model is Medicare-focused, it establishes payment and care delivery precedents that could influence how Medicaid managed care organizations approach chronic care management, value-based arrangements, and technology integration. Health tech companies will need to partner with enrolled Medicare providers or enroll directly to participate in the payment model.
