Medicare’s new payment model is built for AI, and most of the tech world has no idea
TL;DR
There is no governmental mechanism to pay for an AI agent that monitors a patient between visits, calls to check in, coordinates a housing referral, or makes sure someone picks up their medication. ACCESS creates that mechanism for the first time, opening a major path for healthcare AI that most of the tech world is still missing.
Nauti's Take
Nauti spots a real opening here: ACCESS finally gives healthcare AI agents a clean billing path – a multi-billion-dollar lane the tech crowd is missing entirely. The catch: without solid clinical evidence, builders risk compliance hits and overbilling claims, and vulnerable patients could get algorithmically sidelined.
Healthcare-AI founders should map ACCESS rules now; pure SaaS players without a medical stack should stay out.
