HealthyConnectAI
Company combines clinical care and connected technology to help Medicare patients manage chronic conditions between office visits.
TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, September 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today, HHS and CMS leadership join national healthcare leaders for Building a Healthier America: CMS ACCESS and a New Chapter in Health Innovation, coinciding with the scheduled launch of the ACCESS Participant Directory. Against that backdrop, HealthyConnect is announcing its participation in the ACCESS Model through Remote Care Partners, the legal entity participating in the model, and its plans to expand technology-supported chronic care for Medicare patients.
Today’s national event is scheduled for 10 a.m. to noon Eastern and will be streamed at hhs.gov/live.
ACCESS—Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions—creates a new payment approach in Original Medicare that ties reimbursement to measurable health outcomes. It gives participating care organizations greater flexibility to combine clinical services, technology and ongoing support to help patients manage chronic conditions. Learn more about the CMS ACCESS Model.
The model has attracted attention from healthcare investors and innovators. Julie Yoo, a general partner on Andreessen Horowitz’s Bio + Health team, captured that enthusiasm in her published commentary: “CMMI ACCESS is bringing sexy back to Medicare.”
“For patients, the significance is straightforward: more support managing their health in everyday life,” said Gregg Smith, CEO of HealthyConnect. “Patients live with their conditions every day, but most healthcare happens in brief appointments. HealthyConnect connects those visits with a care team, practical guidance and technology that helps us recognize when someone needs attention.”
HealthyConnect combines clinical care teams with digital tools to support patients at home and keep their treating providers informed. Its approach emphasizes personalized care plans, regular engagement, monitoring of progress and coordination with physicians and other healthcare professionals.
For physician practices, HealthyConnect aims to extend the support available to patients without requiring practices to build and staff another care program. The goal is to give clinicians useful information about what happens between appointments and help patients follow through on their care plans.
“We have spent years investing in the people, workflows and technology needed to deliver connected care,” Smith added. “ACCESS creates an opportunity to put those capabilities to work more broadly, with a clear focus on helping patients achieve measurable improvements in their health.”
Eligible patients may enroll with an ACCESS participant directly or through a provider referral. Participation is voluntary, and patients retain their Original Medicare benefits and freedom to choose their healthcare providers.
