CMS reports more than 150 health care organizations accepted to participate in ACCESS, with many organizations bringing technology-supported chronic-care options into Original Medicare.

Why it matters

ACCESS is not a small demonstration in concept only; the accepted-applicant base indicates broad market participation and a potentially meaningful new adoption channel.

Decision implication
