Medicare Coverage Gaps ACCESS Model Fills | HealthArc

For a long time, Medicare payments have been based on the idea that care happens during visits to the doctor. Payment, documentation, and care delivery all relied on evaluation and management codes, procedures, and encounters. As Medicare moves toward continuous, outcome-based care, it will only work if the right operational foundation is in place. The ACCESS Model—Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions—was created to fill those gaps. Instead of adding small fixes to a system based on visits, ACCESS changes what Medicare expects, supports, and rewards in the delivery of chronic care. HealthArc is made to assist with this change by helping practices address the shortcomings of traditional payment models through continuous monitoring, organized communication, adaptable care plans, and processes focused on results. HealthArc helps practices follow the ACCESS Model by supporting long-term care across CCM, RPM, AWVs, behavioral health, and team-based coordination. This means that policy expectations become real-world care delivery that lasts.
