CMS has doubled down on its commitment to reining in specialty costs by proposing another mandatory episode-based care model: Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Expanded, or “CJR-X.” Like the Transforming Episodic Payment Model (TEAM), CJR-X is focused on procedural episodes of care, but its global application and pinpoint focus will drastically impact reimbursement and market presence. With TEAM and CJR-X, we now have another reality: because CJR-X applies to all hospitals not part of TEAM, a universal risk-payment model enfolds all lower extremity joint replacements under the Traditional Medicare program.
In particular, hospitals and ACOs should take heed—two-sided risk begins right away, and so your preparation timeline is already compressed. The value-based care ecosystem has expanded beyond the original ACO model, and in order to succeed, you must adapt.
CJR-X requires a strategy built on actionable insights and enhanced coordination that produces consistent, high-value care. Understanding the driving forces, logistics, and long-term impact of CJR-X is the first step in developing your game plan, and so this webinar will cover:
· Differentiating TEAM and CJR-X
· The underpinnings of the CJR-X model
· CJR-X impact Primary Care VBC Models
· The TEAM and CJR-X success formula
· How CJR-X foreshadows future VBC models
