ACCESS FOR RURAL HEALTH CLINICS

More support beyond the rural clinic.

Connect patients with ongoing HealthyConnect care while your small team retains the local clinical relationship.

New to ACCESS? Medicare’s ACCESS model pays participating providers for technology-supported chronic care with payment tied to outcomes. HealthyConnect delivers care alongside patients’ existing clinicians.
