Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 07/29/2016 - 10:26
- The new bundled payment models apply to cardiac care and extend the existing CJR model to include hip and femur fractures
- The bundle makes hospitals accountable for the cost and quality of care provided during the inpatient stay and for 90 days after discharge
- Hospitals will be chosen from 98 randomly-selected metropolitan statistical areas for the cardiac bundling program
- Under the proposed rule, the bundles are set to begin on July 1, 2017
- Hospitals would receive quality-adjusted target payments for each episode of care
- At the end of each performance year, hospitals that meet quality standards can earn additional payments based on cost
- The proposed rule also includes a model to test cardiac rehabilitation services
- CMS said the cardiac bundle, as well as the CJR bundle, could qualify as Advanced Alternative Payment Models in 2018 under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act
- Additionally, the proposed rule indicates that CMS plans to build on its Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Initiative
- CMS is taking feedback on the proposals for 60 days, until September 24
