Rural Healthcare Payment and Reimbursement – Funding & Opportunities

LEAD (Long-Term Enhanced ACO Design) Model
A reimbursement model for healthcare providers and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). LEAD builds upon the CMS Innovation Center's earlier accountable care work and uses improved benchmarking to appeal to a broader mix of healthcare providers, including those with specialized patient populations and those new to ACOs such as smaller, independent or rural-based practices.
