This member-exclusive webinar – scheduled for April 14, 2026, at 1 pm ET (12 pm CT, 11 am MT, 10 am PT) – is eligible for ACMPE, ACHE (live only), CME (live only), CPE (live only), PDC (live only) and CEU credit, and will be made available as a recording.

Since finalizing a new strategic direction last year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center has announced updates to existing models and the launch of new models aligned with their key pillars. CMS is taking new approaches to expand participation in value-based care for providers and other stakeholders. Join MGMA Government Affairs for an informational webinar on what medical groups need to know about the state of Medicare value-based care for 2026 and how they should prepare for upcoming models. The webinar will also feature CMS Innovation Center staff implementing the new LEAD model, scheduled to launch on January 1, 2027. LEAD will serve as a successor to ACO REACH and maintain core elements such as partial and full-risk participation options but also offer new opportunities for specialists, such as CMS Administered Risk Arrangements (CARA).

Whether your practice is new to value-based care or a long-time participant, this webinar will be a great opportunity to learn more about what's new from CMS and whether the LEAD model could be a fit for your practice. This session will include an interactive Q&A session with the MGMA Government Affairs and CMS Innovation Center staff.

This 60-minute member-exclusive webinar will provide you with the knowledge to:

• Examine Medicare value-based care options for 2026 and beyond
• Determine opportunities to participate in a CMS Innovation Center model 
• Take next steps to apply for LEAD or an another CMS Innovation Center model for 2027
