ACO REACH Intro to Care Model
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) developed the Accountable Care Organization Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health (ACO REACH) model to make it easier for providers to work together to improve care coordination and health outcomes for aligned traditional Medicare (Medicare fee-for-service) patients, especially in underserved communities. The goals of the model are to make care more accessible and improve the patient experience, with an emphasis on health equity, while reducing the total cost of care.
