March 24, 2026 | 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM EST61 min

## About this recording

With CMS continuing to evolve its value-based care models, 2027 represents a pivotal decision point for ACOs and health systems across the country. The new LEAD model introduces a fundamentally different approach to care delivery and payment — raising critical questions for organizations currently in MSSP or considering their next move.

## What you'll take away

- A clear understanding of the structural and financial differences between LEAD and MSSP
- A practical framework for evaluating which model is right for their organization
- An honest assessment of the operational and technology readiness required for each model
- Actionable next steps they can take today to prepare for 2027
- Direct access to experts from NAACOS and Innovaccer for questions related to the models and on what they are hearing from the ground
