The healthcare landscape is constantly evolving, with a growing emphasis on value-based care. CMS has emerged as a key player in this shift, introducing the Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health (REACH) Model. This innovative program signifies a win for both value-based care and underserved communities.
The CMS ACO Reach Model centers around Accountable Care Organizations, networks of healthcare providers that come together to deliver coordinated care to Medicare beneficiaries. This fosters collaboration between primary care physicians, specialists, and other healthcare professionals, ensuring a more holistic approach to patient well-being.
