    #ICYMI: CMS proposed new GUARD Model test to lower prescription drugs costs for Medicare Part D. What’s new: CMS announced the proposed GUARD (Guarding U.S. Medicare Against Rising Drug Costs) Model that would lower costs of certain prescription drugs covered by Medicare Part D, to reflect prices paid in economically comparable countries. Why it matters: GUARD will help make critical prescriptions more accessible for people with Medicare Part D, better enabling them to follow their prescribed care for optimal health outcomes, and alleviating financial strain on Medicare. What to expect: CMS is seeking public comment on GUARD through an NPRM; the deadline for comment is February 23, 2026. Learn more: go.cms.gov/GUARD

    The new CMS BALANCE Model aims to expand access to GLP-1 medications for people with Medicare Part D and Medicaid. What’s new: Under the BALANCE Model, CMS negotiates drug pricing with manufacturers of GLP-1 medications on behalf of state Medicaid agencies and Medicare Part D plans to enable people to improve their long-term health, potentially preventing chronic disease and disability. Why it matters: GLP-1 drugs are a promising tool to help people with weight loss and improve their overall health, but access to these drugs is uneven because coverage under Medicare and Medicaid is limited. What to expect: CMS is issuing a Request for Applications, soliciting drug manufacturers to participate in negotiations — BALANCE will launch in Medicaid in 2026 as participating states can join the model on rolling basis.

    CMS announces new LEAD Model that will expand access to accountable care, improving health outcomes for people with Medicare. What’s new: The Long-term Enhanced ACO Design (LEAD) Model is the Innovation Center’s next Accountable Care Organization (ACO) model that will focus on reaching more health care providers who have not joined ACOs in the past, while providing care for patients, including those with high needs, such as dually eligible beneficiaries and those who are homebound or home limited. Why it matters: LEAD’s improved benchmarking methodology and other design features will support smaller, independent health, or rural-based practices and those who serve patients with more complex challenges that have faced financial and administrative obstacles to being in ACOs previously. What to expect: LEAD is a 10-year model that will begin January 1, 2027; health care providers can apply to participate in LEAD by responding to a Request for Applications beginning in March 2026.
