CHA reminds hospitals participating in the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) Model to provide the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) with a list of previous and current CJR collaborators as of Feb. 28. Participating hospitals are required to provide CMS with “evidence sufficient to enable the audit, evaluation, inspection, or investigation of the individual’s or entity’s compliance with CJR requirements, the quality of services furnished, the obligation to repay any reconciliation payments owed to CMS, or the calculation, distribution, receipt, or recoupment of gainsharing payments, alignment payments, or distribution payments.” CJR participant hospitals should complete the attached Excel form and submit to CJRsupport@cms.hhs.gov by 5 p.m. (PT) on March 21.
Hospitals that have not established any collaborator agreements as of Feb. 28 should complete only the “Participant Hospital Name” and “Participant Hospital’s CCN” fields, and Question 2 on Tab 2 of the Excel file. Emails should include the hospital’s CMS certification number in the subject line. Questions can be submitted to the CJR model team at CJRSupport@cms.hhs.gov. A list of California hospitals participating in the CJR model is available on CHA’s episode payment model resource page.
