What’s happening: CHA will host the Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) Bundled Payment Final Rule Webinar on Aug. 14 at noon (PT).
What else to know: The event is free for CHA members. Registration is open.
Over 100 California hospitals were selected to participate in the finalized model, which aims to improve Medicare patient outcomes while reducing Medicare spending. The 30-day bundled payment model will hold selected hospitals accountable for the cost and quality of certain high-volume surgical procedures provided to Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries. Current participants in other Medicare bundled payment models can opt into TEAM, which begins in January 2026.
This model focuses on five high-volume procedures:
- Lower extremity joint replacement
- Surgical repair of a fracture
- Major bowel procedure
- Spinal fusion
- Coronary artery bypass graph
