CMS launches 10-year ACCESS health-tech pilot for Medicare

CMS recently held an event to commemorate the summer launch of the ACCESS model, a decade-long pilot aimed at integrating health-technology solutions into Medicare.

The program will test new digital tools, remote monitoring and data-sharing platforms to improve care coordination and outcomes for beneficiaries, with participation from a range of providers and technology firms.

Officials said the pilot will generate evidence to guide future policy decisions on scaling health-tech across the Medicare system, though details on timelines and funding remain limited.
