CMS Expands ACCESS Model for Chronic Care Management
CMS announced an expansion of the Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions (ACCESS) Model, which affects physician groups managing chronic conditions. The model offers alternative payment arrangements for chronic care coordination. The expansion creates new participation opportunities for physician practices, though specific effective dates and eligibility criteria were not detailed in the announcement. Physician groups managing Medicaid beneficiaries with chronic conditions should evaluate whether participation aligns with their care delivery infrastructure and payment model strategy.
The ACCESS Model expansion may create new payment opportunities for physician practices serving dual-eligible or Medicaid beneficiaries with chronic conditions, potentially affecting how managed care plans contract with primary care providers for complex populations.
