Listen "ACO REACH Model"
Episode Synopsis
In February, CMS announced a redesign of the Global and Professional Direct Contracting Model for 2023. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation also released an RFA to solicit a cohort of participants for the new version of Direct Contraction, the ACO REACH Model. Aisha Pittman and Mara McDermott discuss how the renamed model better aligns with the purpose of encouraging providers to coordinate care to people with Medicare and better reach participants in underserved communities.
