Title: ●Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CMS-5516-F)(Section 610 Review) | |
Abstract:
This final rule implements a new Medicare Part A and B payment model under section 1115A of the Social Security Act, called the Comprehensive Care Joint Replacement Model, in which acute care hospitals in certain selected geographic areas receive retrospective bundled payments for episodes of care for lower extremity joint replacement or reattachment of a lower extremity. All related care within 90 days of hospital discharge from the joint replacement procedures would be included in the episode of care. We believe this model furthers our goals in improving the efficiency and quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries for these common medical procedures. |
