A CMS Innovation Center Model · Beginning July 2026
The ACCESS program brings nurse-led, technology-supported care for chronic conditions to patients on Original Medicare — at home, at no cost, alongside the doctor you already trust.
Real nurses, simple home monitoring, and a care team that checks in between visits — so managing your health feels lighter. No out-of-pocket cost. Keep your own doctor.
Extend your reach beyond the exam room with an outcome-aligned partner that handles monitoring, engagement, and documentation — with no added burden on your team.
What is ACCESS?
ACCESS is a 10-year national model from the CMS Innovation Center (CMMI), testing a new, outcome-based way to care for the chronic conditions. Brilliant Care is a participating ACCESS Partner Organization.
Connected home devices and an always-on care assistant keep your health numbers visible to your team between visits — not just once a year.
Under the model's Outcome-Aligned Payments, success is measured by real improvement in your condition — care is built around results, not the number of services billed.
ACCESS adds a layer of support to the care you already get. It never replaces your relationship with your primary care clinician.
One program · Two ways in
Pick your view above and we'll bring your side forward — or keep both in sight. Either way, the destination is the same: better health, lower cost.
Who it helps
The model focuses on high-prevalence, high-impact chronic conditions — the ones most likely to affect daily life and long-term health.
