CHA reminds members to register by noon tomorrow, Aug. 13, for a member call on the proposed rule for the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CCJR) bundled payment model. Scheduled for Aug. 14 from 11 a.m. – noon (PT), the call will provide an overview of the proposed rule and solicit member input for CHA’s comments, which are due Sept. 8. CHA encourages all hospitals currently providing lower extremity joint replacement services to participate. While CMS is currently proposing this mandatory model in randomly selected metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) across the country — including three in California — the MSAs have the potential to change between now and release of the final rule. The policy’s effective date is currently scheduled for Jan. 1, 2016.
To register for the call, visit www.surveymonkey.com/r/ccjrproposed. Members are encouraged to send questions in advance. A dial-in number and materials will be sent to registered attendees on Aug. 13 and posted to the CHA website. Additional information about the proposed rule is available at www.calhospital.org/cha-news-article/cha-issues-summary-ccjr-payment-model-proposed-rule.
