American healthcare is failing its doctors, not the other way around. I started Welby Health because physicians deserve a system built around keeping people healthy, not one that burns them out treating preventable crises. On National Doctors' Day, let's honor the people and fix the model.

UnitedHealthcare is pulling RPM coverage for hypertension, diabetes, and COPD, calling it "unproven." At the same time, CMS is launching ACCESS -- a 10-year payment model that ties Medicare Part B dollars directly to technology-enabled chronic care outcomes -- and the FDA's TEMPO pilot is fast-tracking digital health devices to support it. The evidence overwhelmingly supports RPM.

CMS is making three structural moves in 2026 that change the economics of chronic care management: a 10% reimbursement increase on all CCM codes, new RPM billing flexibility that rewards continuous patient engagement over episodic check-ins, and the launch of ACCESS -- a ten-year payment model that ties Medicare Part B dollars directly to technology-enabled outcomes.
