On Sept. 22, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will host a live repeat of an Aug. 31 webinar on the Advancing Care Coordination through Episode Payment Models proposed rule.
CMS proposed bundling payments to acute-care hospitals for heart attack and cardiac bypass surgery services, as well as expanding the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement model to include surgical hip/femur fracture treatment.
Comments on the proposed rule are due Oct. 3. If you have questions or concerns, contact Director of Policy Erin O’Malley at eomalley@essentialhospitals.org or 202.585.0127.
