ABOUT THE MODEL
What Is the ACCESS Model?
The ACCESS Model is CMS’s newest innovation initiative, designed to improve outcomes for patients with chronic conditions through technology-enabled care delivery and outcome-aligned payments (OAPs). Unlike traditional fee-for-service, ACCESS rewards providers for achieving measurable health improvements.
Florida Elder Care has been selected to participate in this 10-year program starting July 2026, bringing cutting-edge chronic disease management to seniors across Florida — from our headquarters in Loxahatchee to Miami-Dade, Broward, Orlando, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, and every major Florida market.
