CMS ACCESS Model
Better chronic care, covered by Medicare
Ciba Health is a participant in the CMS ACCESS Model. If you have Original Medicare, a dedicated care team helps you manage your chronic conditions - with health coaching, at-home monitoring, personalized recommendations, and nutrition insights tailored to your health goals. With no separate program fee, and you keep your own doctor.
How the ACCESS Model works
Three steps to better chronic care.
You get a dedicated care team
A health coach works with you, backed by Ciba's clinical team, giving you personalized recommendations and following your progress with at-home monitoring and regular check-ins all year. You keep your own doctor.
Medicare pays for results
CMS pays Ciba based on health outcomes, not the number of visits. There is no separate program fee to you.
Is this program right for you?
The program is for people with Original Medicare (fee-for-service) who live with certain ongoing conditions. Taking part is voluntary, and it won't change your Medicare benefits. Medicare confirms whether you qualify when you sign up.
Living with a chronic condition
Such as type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or heart disease.
At higher risk
Such as high blood pressure, prediabetes, high cholesterol, or carrying extra weight.
What's included in your care
Practical, whole-person support for managing your chronic conditions - built around you.
A dedicated care team
A health coach works with you, backed by clinical oversight from Ciba's medical team.
At-home monitoring and progress tracking
A connected blood-pressure monitor and regular check-ins let you and your team follow your progress over time.
Personalized recommendations
Guidance built around your health and your goals - nutrition, activity, and managing your conditions.
Personalized nutrition insights
More than meal tracking - your nutrition journal turns what you eat into personalized insights for your health goals, with a monthly nutrition report to guide what comes next.
Support by secure chat
Message your care team between check-ins and get answers when you need them.
Coordinated with your own doctor
You keep your own doctor, and Ciba shares a care plan and updates with them.

Clinicians - refer a patient
Do you care for patients with Original Medicare and ongoing chronic conditions? You can refer them to Ciba's ACCESS Model program. Your patient signs up and gives their own consent, you stay their doctor, and you receive updates on their care so you can keep coordinating it.

Is this Medicare Advantage?
No. This is a program under Original Medicare - the CMS ACCESS Model. It does not replace or change your Medicare.
What does it cost?
There is no separate fee to join, and Medicare pays Ciba based on your health outcomes. Your usual Medicare out-of-pocket costs may still apply to covered care, and we will always tell you any amount before your visit.
Can I keep my doctor?
Yes. You keep your own doctor and your Medicare benefits stay the same.
Is Ciba part of Medicare?
Ciba Health is a participant in the CMS ACCESS Model. The program is run by Ciba Health, not by Medicare.
How do I know if I qualify?
Medicare confirms your eligibility when you sign up. Taking part is voluntary and won't change your Medicare benefits.
What if my doctor told me about Ciba?
Your doctor can refer you, but you still sign up and give your own consent yourself. A referral never enrolls you automatically.
