Determining how much risk your organization is willing to take, along with the key characteristics of your program are two factors that will help you determine whether your organization should participate in
CMS' Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) and which model is the best fit.
And with CMS' recent extension of the deadline to file the BPCI program application due to high levels of interest, healthcare organizations have even more time to determine if they should participate and if so, which model to select.
Listen to pre-conference comments from Jim Reilly.
During Evaluating CMS' Bundled Payment Initiative: Operational, Financial and Clinical Considerations, a 45-minute webinar on October 19th, 2011, now available for replay via the web or on CD or DVD, James Reilly, managing partner with TRG Health Care Solutions, examined the key distinctions between each of CMS' four bundled payment models and share his expertise on the organizational criteria that is most effective in bundled payment programs.
Reilly shared:
- The key details you need to know on CMS' four bundled payment models;
- Operational, clinical and financial considerations for bundled payment programs;
- How to achieve the physician alignment you need to be successful;
- Common methodologies for bundled payments and the distribution of savings, along with the data you need to determine the best methodology for your organization; and
- Factors to consider for your organization's optimal roll-out strategy for bundled payments.
Organizations have until November 4, 2011 to declare intent for Models 2, 3 or 4. Applications for BPCI Model 1 are now due on November 18th, 2011.
