AI Summary — Last 30 Days
Over the last 30 days, CMS has accelerated the implementation of the Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM), reintroducing mandatory episode-based reimbursement models that focus on bundled payments. This shift is critical for hospitals and providers as they prepare for increased accountability under these new models, particularly given the 2% discount on episodes like LEJR and spinal fusion procedures outlined in recent policy updates. As stakeholders adapt to these changes, attention to the Composite Quality Score and readiness plans will be essential for navigating the evolving landscape of value-based care.
