Mike Chernew On Payment Reform: From Direct Contracting To ACO REACH

Late last month, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
(CMS) announced its redesign of its Global and Professional
Direct Contracting Model to its now-branded Accountable Care
Organization (ACO) Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health
(REACH) Model. The agency stated the redesign is meant to advance
health equity and was in response to stakeholder feedback and
participant experience.


On today's episode of Health Affairs This Week, Harvard Medical
School's Michael Chernew joins Health Affairs Forefront Editor
Chris Fleming to talk about the new CMS model for ACOs, and where
Medicare Advantage could improve.
