HealthIT Answers December 10, 2025
On December 1, CMS announced the Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions, ACCESS Model which will supports CMS’ work on modernizing the nation’s digital health ecosystem and empowering Medicare beneficiaries through greater access to innovative health technologies. The Health Tech Ecosystem momentum is strong, and it is proving that the technology to transform care is available today. However, a payment mechanism that supports technology enabled care and the outcomes they achieve is needed. The ACCESS Model fills in that gap.
CMS will begin accepting applications for the 10-year voluntary model on January 12, 2026, with an initial deadline of April 1, 2026. ACCESS will begin July 1, 2026.
