The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will host a one-hour webinar on Dec. 13 addressing the recently published final rule that cancelled the episode payment models and revised the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) model. The presentation will begin at 11 a.m. (PT); registration is available online.
The webinar will provide an overview of the final rule and clarify which hospitals are eligible for voluntary participation in the CJR model and how they may elect to participate. CMS has provided a list of participating hospitals and their status under the final rule. A template letter for hospitals eligible to elect voluntary participation in the CJR model is also available; the deadline for submission is Jan. 31.
