The CMS ACCESS model creates a powerful new payment pathway for technology supported chronic care. RethinkX.ai is building the enrollment and compliance infrastructure that lets nursing facilities and provider groups participate and get paid without building CMS reporting systems from scratch.
CMS launched ACCESS, Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions, to fund technology supported care for Medicare beneficiaries managing chronic conditions. The program creates outcome aligned payments for four clinical tracks: cardio kidney metabolic, musculoskeletal, behavioral health, and early stage cardiometabolic risk.
The opportunity is real and the funding is already allocated. The barrier is operational. Participating organizations must manage CMS enrollment, maintain compliant reporting pipelines, contract with qualifying technology partners, and coordinate care delivery across facilities, simultaneously. For most nursing facilities and provider groups, that infrastructure does not exist.
The population is there. The infrastructure is not.
Cardio-kidney-metabolic, musculoskeletal, behavioral health, and early cardiometabolic risk. Each requiring specific technology partners and outcome reporting.
RethinkX.ai is actively pursuing participation in the inaugural cohort.
We are building the enrollment, compliance, and orchestration infrastructure that sits between CMS and the organizations delivering care. That means RethinkX.ai manages what most organizations cannot and what every ACCESS participant needs.
Patient identification across facility populations, CMS-compliant enrollment workflows, voluntary consent documentation, and eligibility verification handled end to end.
Outcome tracking, quarterly and annual CMS reporting, audit-ready data pipelines, and performance documentation across all enrolled patients and clinical tracks.
RethinkX.ai contracts directly with nursing facility partners, manages revenue distribution, and handles the operational relationship so facilities can participate without building their own ACCESS program.
We connect vetted digital health technology partners, covering each ACCESS clinical track, to the enrolled patient population. Partners provide the care technology. We provide the distribution and compliance infrastructure.
RethinkX.ai operates as the ACCESS participation and orchestration layer. We receive CMS outcome aligned payments, distribute revenue to facility partners and technology partners, and manage the compliance infrastructure that makes the whole model function.
Facility partners provide patient access and care delivery context. RethinkX.ai handles CMS enrollment, compliance, and reporting on their behalf. Facilities receive a revenue share from each enrolled patient without building their own ACCESS infrastructure.
Digital health technology partners provide the care platforms, remote monitoring, behavioral coaching, condition-specific interventions, across each ACCESS clinical track. RethinkX.ai provides the enrolled patient population and handles the CMS reporting requirements.
CMS receives compliant outcome data and audit-ready reporting. Enrolled beneficiaries receive technology-supported chronic care. RethinkX.ai operates the layer that makes each part of the model work together.
RethinkX.ai is actively building its inaugural ACCESS network. We are seeking facility partners, technology partners, and clinical leadership to shape the model from the ground up.
If you operate nursing facilities with Medicare populations and want to participate in ACCESS without building the compliance infrastructure yourself, we want to talk. You provide patient access. We handle everything else.
If you have a technology platform designed for chronic condition management and want guaranteed access to a Medicare patient population with CMS-compliant outcome reporting, we want to talk.
RethinkX.ai is building relationships with Medical Directors and clinical leaders who want to shape the oversight and quality framework for an inaugural CMS ACCESS network.
The first ACCESS cohort application deadline is April 2026. RethinkX.ai is moving now to establish the facility relationships, technology partnerships, and clinical infrastructure required to participate. If you are evaluating ACCESS participation, now is the right moment to have this conversation.
