Nuna Offers Free AI Health Coach to Medicare Patients Under CMS Model
San Francisco – September 18, 2026 -- Nuna Health LLC is now offering its AI-driven digital health coach at no cost to eligible Original Medicare (Parts A and B) beneficiaries in markets where the company operates, positioning itself among the first participants in the CMS Innovation Center's ACCESS (Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions) Model.
CMS payment model ties reimbursement to patient outcomes, not services rendered
The ACCESS Model is a payment test that rewards participating organizations based on health outcomes achieved rather than volume of care delivered. Enrollment is voluntary and subject to CMS eligibility criteria. Nuna is supporting beneficiaries enrolled in the Model's Early Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic (eCKM) and Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) tracks, covering high blood pressure, high cholesterol, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
