    Blue Shield of California is one of 17 major health plans that has committed to adopting payment models inspired by the Medicare Innovation Center’s ACCESS Model.

    The insurer’s chief medical officer Ravi Kavasery told me that it’s still figuring out details of what this will look like, including whether it will adopt CMS payment amounts and what organizations it will work with. He said Blue Shield of California, which serves 6 million members, expect to launch similar models in commercial plans in 2027.

    The Medicare RPM backlash

    Medicare’s plan to rein in spending on remote patient monitoring has prompted surprising pushback from insurers. Under these billing codes, Medicare pays health care providers to track and manage the health of their patients using connected devices like blood pressure cuffs.

    As I report in a new story, UnitedHealth Group, CVS Health, and Kaiser Permanente all wrote letters opposing a medicare proposal that such remote-monitoring services be rendered directly by employees of the provider billing for it. Currently much of RPM is delivered by vendors working under the supervision of the billing providers.
