The Next Line of Business for AAAs & CBOs: Bundled Payments

The entire healthcare landscape is undergoing and will continue to undergo major changes. Significant funding is shifting towards improved health outcomes; and hospitals and physicians are shifting to value-based payment models. CMS’s Bundled Payments for Care Improvement initiative is a value-based payment model launched in 2013 that directly affects older adults and the services and programs provided by AAAs and other community-based organizations (CBOs).

In July 2015, CMS announced the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement model, which will bundle payments for Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries who have hip and knee replacements. This proposed model will be implemented in 75 geographic regions and will have significant impact on care transitions programs.

Join this webinar to learn all about the bundled payment initiatives, including the joint replacement model. Tim McNeill, RN, MPH will outline the potential impact of these CMS initiatives on local markets, the role that CBOs can play and how to take advantage of these opportunities to sustain programs like CCTP.

The Aging and Disability Networks are essential to supporting successful value-based payment models, but it’s critical to understand the changing landscape and position your organization to seize the opportunity.
