Three Takeaways from the 2026 Health Care Value Week Conference
Coral attended the 2026 Health Care Value Week conference hosted by Accountable for Health, where CMS leadership and industry stakeholders discussed priorities shaping the next phase of value-based care. Across sessions, speakers returned to a few consistent themes: the central role of CMMI models, particularly the upcoming Long–term Enhanced ACO Design (LEAD) Model, he administration’s emphasis on addressing fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA), and the growing importance of technology and interoperability in enabling accountable care.
