Notice: The ACO REACH Model Will End on December 31, 2026

CINQCARE ACO REACH, LLC (CINQCARE) is sharing an important update. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) ACO REACH Model will conclude on December 31, 2026, and our participation in the Model will end on that date.

For Medicare Beneficiaries

If you receive care from a doctor or practice that participates in ACO REACH through CINQCARE, here is what you should know.

Nothing changes in your care right now. Until December 31, 2026, you will continue to receive the same benefits and support you have today, including care management services.

Some extra benefits will end. If you received extra benefits through this program, called Benefit Enhancements or Beneficiary Engagement Incentives, they will end on December 31, 2026.

• Any services you may have received under a Benefit Enhancement will no longer be covered by Medicare after that date. You may have to pay for them yourself.
• Any Beneficiary Engagement Incentive you were receiving will simply no longer be provided.

This change affects only these extra benefits. It does not affect your Medicare coverage as a whole.

Your other Medicare benefits stay the same. You can continue to see any doctor, practice, or hospital that accepts Medicare, including your current doctor. It is always your choice who you see for care.
