CMS seeks applicants for LEAD ACO Model
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services March 31 released a request for applications for its new accountable care organization model, the Long-term Enhanced ACO Design Model, or LEAD. The model is designed to accommodate a wide range of health care providers, including those who have not previously participated in an ACO and providers who care for specialized patient populations. CMS said ACOs interested in the voluntary, 10-year payment model must apply by May 17. The model will launch Jan. 1, 2027.
