Ashley Johnson+FollowMedicare’s New Chronic Care GamechangerBig news for anyone dealing with chronic health issues: Medicare is rolling out a new payment model called ACCESS that could totally shake up how doctors treat long-term conditions.

Cardio-kidney, musculoskeletal, and behavioral health. If this works, it could mean more personalized care and less red tape for both patients and doctors! #Health #BodyHealth #Medicare92Share
