ACCESS Model — Behavioral Health Track

Payment ModelCMS Innovation Center (CMMI)

Summary

  • The Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions (ACCESS) model includes a Behavioral Health Track for practices treating depression and anxiety. It shifts from fee-for-service to monthly payments tied to outcomes — explicitly requiring technology-enabled care and outcome measurement.

  • Who can apply

    Clinicians treating Medicare/Medicaid beneficiaries with anxiety or depression; practice must use a qualifying technology platform

  • Before you apply

    Annual application window; check CMS for current dates. A technology platform is a program requirement, so measurement-based care tools fit the model.

    We track this program by hand. Amounts, intakes and rules change, so we suggest checking the official site before you apply.
