What to know

  • Medicare is expanding the ACCESS pilot to cover five additional chronic conditions starting spring 2027: substance use disorder, heart failure, COPD, tobacco use, and extended musculoskeletal support.
  • The model uses outcome-aligned payments, rewarding technology providers when patients' conditions improve rather than fee-for-service reimbursement.
  • About three-quarters of Medicare beneficiaries will be eligible for at least one condition track under the expanded program.

“A Medicare experiment in paying for technology to help people manage chronic conditions has just barely gotten underway, and officials are already moving to expand it.”
