Medicare’s new payment model is built for AI, and most of the tech world has no idea

CMS’s new ACCESS Medicare pilot will pay for chronic care based on patient outcomes, not just clinician time.

Pair Team is one of 150 participants selected for the 10-year program, which begins July 5.

The model is built to support AI-enabled tools such as monitoring, outreach, referral coordination, and medication adherence.

It could reshape healthcare reimbursement by creating a federal path for AI to support chronic care at scale.
