CMS, CMMI, and even some private payers continue to develop and implement bundled payment initiatives. Beginning with the voluntary BPCI program and now with the mandatory CJR program and soon-to-be implemented cardiac Episode Payment Models, CMS is encouraging acute-care and post-acute-care providers to work together to improve quality and reduce the healthcare costs. This movement toward bundled payment presents difficulties and risks for post-acute providers, but it can also offer opportunities. By understanding and anticipating market changes, post-acute providers can be prepared to avoid the risks and capitalize on the opportunities.
This webinar will explain key structural and financial aspects of bundled payment programs, identify the risks faced by post-acute providers, and suggest strategies for post-acute providers to remain preferred participants (“collaborators”) in the care bundles and share in the financial benefit derived by providing higher-quality, more-efficient, and cost-effective care.
