CMS Innovation Model

The CMS ACCESS Program

Community Physicians is proud to participate in the CMS ACCESS Program, a Medicare innovation model designed to improve care coordination, behavioral health integration, and long-term outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries.

About the Program

What is the CMS
ACCESS Program?

ACCESS (Accountable Care for Cognitive and Cardiac Care Excellence in Social Supports) is a CMS Innovation model that supports Medicare beneficiaries with complex care needs through enhanced coordination and community-based services.

Coordinated Care

A dedicated care team works with you and your doctors to make sure all your health needs are connected — no more falling through the cracks between specialists and providers.

Behavioral Health Integration

Mental health and substance use support are built directly into your primary care experience — so your whole health is treated, not just individual conditions.

Chronic Condition Focus

Specially designed for patients managing heart disease, cognitive conditions, or other complex chronic conditions requiring ongoing coordination across care teams.

No Extra Cost to You

If you're a Medicare beneficiary, participation in ACCESS is at no additional cost. Your existing Medicare benefits apply — you simply receive more coordinated support.

What you can
expect

Patients enrolled in ACCESS-participating practices benefit from a more proactive, personalized approach to care.

01

A named care coordinator

Someone who knows your history and can help navigate appointments, referrals, and follow-ups on your behalf.

02

Proactive outreach

Your care team checks in between visits — not just when you're sick — to help manage medications, symptoms, and transitions.

03

Integrated behavioral health

Access to mental health support within the same practice — fewer referrals, fewer barriers, more complete care.

Departments involved at
Community Physicians

The following Community Physicians departments are part of our ACCESS program participation and provide coordinated support for enrolled patients.

Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation

Our PM&R specialists focus on restoring function and improving quality of life — critical for Medicare patients managing musculoskeletal conditions, post-acute recovery, or neurological impairment.

Behavioral Health

Our Behavioral Health team provides integrated mental health services alongside primary and specialty care — reducing barriers to treatment and ensuring your emotional well-being is part of your overall care plan.
