WASHINGTON – Business Group on Health praised the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) for introducing the Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions (ACCESS) voluntary model to encourage new payment and operational strategies.
Employers have long led and implemented programs and plan offerings aimed at promoting prevention, aligning incentives, and engaging innovative medical providers, systems, and Centers of Excellence in outcomes-focused arrangements.
The Business Group sees the CMS ACCESS model as a catalyst that drives results over volume and shifts the market to reward leading-edge, technology-enabled providers for reimagining their approach to integrated, prevention-first care and alignment across disciplines.
In addition, Business Group on Health believes that successful uptake of the ACCESS model would further align public and private payers on outcomes, prevention, accountability, and value. This would simplify and streamline the path for providers to adopt value-based and outcomes-focused arrangements across their practices and payer engagements.
When CMS and employers work with providers to deliver care at scale under these reforms, it will make a meaningful difference in the cost and quality of care, the health of employees and their families, and engagement with the health care system for all Americans.
