Story Health by Innovaccer · CMS ACCESS is live

CMS ACCESS Is Live. We Carry the Risk. You Keep the Patient.

CMS ACCESS launched July 5. Every day unenrolled, more Medicare patients get recruited into ACCESS programs elsewhere, outside your clinical workflow. Story Health, powered by Innovaccer, is live in the first cohort. We identify your eligible patients, manage the program, and absorb the outcome risk. Your providers stay at the center.

CMS accepted Story Health into the ACCESS Model's first cohort across both Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic tracks. Story Health is already enrolling patients.

What is CMS ACCESS?

A program designed for chronic care outcomes, not just visits

CMS ACCESS (Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions) is a 10-year CMMI model launching July 5, 2026. It introduces recurring revenue for organizations that use technology to measurably improve chronic disease outcomes. This is not an incremental billing code. It is a fundamentally new payment pathway that rewards results, not visits.
Hypertension
Diabetes
CKD
ASCVD
Chronic MSK Pain
Depression & Anxiety
Recurring, outcome-aligned payments
Payment tied to measurable clinical improvement - blood pressure reduction, HbA1c control, pain improvement, symptom reduction etc. Not volume, not number of visits, just results.
Technology-supported, continuous care
CMS explicitly mandates tech-enabled care - RPM, digital therapeutics, AI-driven coaching. Manual programs cannot break even under the ACCESS economics model.
Permanent voluntary patient alignment
Patients voluntarily align to one ACCESS Participant per track. Once aligned, they cannot re-align elsewhere. First-movers lock in their Medicare population.

Medicare is redirecting revenue. Be on the right side of it.

New Revenue, Zero New Infrastructure
ACCESS unlocks a recurring payment stream from Medicare patients already under active care. Innovaccer acts as the ACCESS Participant, while referring practices earn co-management revenue. No new contracts. No new overhead.
Protect Your Medicare Patient Base
Digital health companies are actively enrolling Medicare patients now. Care coordination authority, referral influence, and revenue are permanently lost once patients enroll with someone else. Secure the population before the window closes.
Ready from Day 1
ACCESS demands AI-enabled enrollment, longitudinal outcome tracking, and FHIR-integrated CMS reporting. Innovaccer delivers all of it, fully deployed and operational before the program launches. Practices show up ready.
