Chronic disease shows up every day.
Medicare's new ACCESS program does too.

Ramona Health was accepted across all four clinical tracks of the CMS ACCESS Model. Starting July 5, 2026, eligible Original Medicare beneficiaries get a daily AI Care Companion built on protocols written by a licensed physician. When something needs a medical decision, Ramona loops in your own doctor. Ramona covers any cost-sharing for ACCESS services.

What is the ACCESS program?

ACCESS stands for Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions. It is a new Medicare program for people on Original Medicare who live with chronic conditions. It pays health organizations for the outcomes their patients achieve, not for the number of visits.

The program runs through the CMS Innovation Center. It does not change your Medicare coverage. It does not replace your doctor. It adds a layer of daily support to the care you already have.

Ramona Health was accepted across all four of the program's clinical tracks, covering heart and metabolic conditions, diabetes and kidney disease, chronic pain, and mental health. The program launches July 5, 2026.

What Ramona helps with

The numbers that creep up on you

Blood pressure, blood sugar, weight, cholesterol — the things that drift slowly between doctor visits. Ramona notices early and helps you act before a small problem becomes a bigger one.

The hard days

Bad nights of sleep. Stiff knees. Anxious mornings. The weeks where managing chronic conditions is hard. Ramona shows up the same way every day, without judgment.

Knowing when to call your doctor

When something looks like it needs a medical decision, Ramona doesn't try to be your doctor. It flags what it's seeing and loops your own doctor in so they can act on it.

Is this for you?

ACCESS is the Medicare program launching on July 5, 2026. You may be a fit if:

  • You have Original Medicare (Part A and Part B).
  • You're managing a chronic condition day-to-day.
  • You live in the United States. Ramona is available in all 50 states and DC at launch.
  • You have a smartphone or tablet.

On Medicare Advantage? Join the waitlist anyway — we'll let you know when the free tier of the Ramona app is open to anyone, and your interest helps us work with Medicare Advantage plans to include Ramona as a benefit.

Common questions

Will this change my Medicare coverage?
No. You keep every benefit you already have. Ramona is added on top of your current coverage.
Do I have to switch doctors?
No. Ramona does not replace your doctor. When something needs medical attention, Ramona shares what it's seeing with your own doctor so they can act on it.
What does this cost?
Ramona covers any cost-sharing for ACCESS services. You keep paying your regular Medicare premiums.
Is this a real doctor, or just AI?
Your day-to-day support comes from the AI Care Companion on your phone. The protocols it follows were written by Dr. Jessica Knox, a licensed physician and Ramona's Medical Director. Ramona is not your doctor. When something needs a medical decision, Ramona loops in your own doctor so they can act on it.
What if I have Medicare Advantage?
ACCESS is for Original Medicare only right now. If you're on Medicare Advantage, you're not eligible for ACCESS today, but we'd still love to hear from you. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know when the free tier of the Ramona app opens up more broadly. Your interest also helps us work with Medicare Advantage plans to include Ramona as a covered benefit.
When can I sign up?
The waitlist is open now. Enrollment opens July 5, 2026, when the program launches.
