Identity & Access Services (IAS App)
Supports IAL2/AAL2 digital identity standards, enabling beneficiaries and providers to authenticate seamlessly across networks.
The CMS ACCESS Model
A shift toward more integrated and value-driven care is redefining how healthcare is delivered and experienced.
What is the ACCESS Model?
ACCESS — Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions is a 10-year voluntary model launched by the CMS Innovation Center.
Today, more than two-thirds of Medicare beneficiaries live with chronic conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic painor depression. Traditional fee-for-service Medicare has not kept pace with how modern, technology-supported care is actually delivered.
ACCESS changes this — by creating a payment pathway that rewards measurable improvement in beneficiaries' health, delivered through digital tools, remote monitoringand flexible care models.
The Most Common Chronic Conditions
ACCESS focuses on conditions that together affect the majority of Medicare beneficiaries — organized into four clinical tracks that guide how care is structured and how outcomes are measured.
Early Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic (eCKM)
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Obesity
Prediabetes
Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM)
Diabetes
Chronic kidney disease
Cardiovascular disease
Musculoskeletal (MSK)
Chronic musculoskeletal pain
Functional and movement outcomes
Behavioral Health (BH)
Depression
Anxiety
Patient-reported mood and function scores
Paid for Outcomes, Not Activities
Participating care organizations receive recurring Medicare payments — called Outcome-Aligned Payments (OAPs) — for managing beneficiaries' chronic conditions.
Payment is tied to whether beneficiaries actually improve: lower blood pressure, better HbA1c, reduced pain scores, improved mood.
Our Role in the ACCESS Ecosystem
We built for exactly this moment.
MedTechMD has developed a suite of digital health, interoperability and patient engagement technologies that are purpose-aligned with the ACCESS Model's requirements.
We don't offer a generic platform, we offer a ready-to-deploy set of tools designed around CMS's outcome-focused, interoperability-first vision for chronic care.
