A longtime leader in healthcare improvement, we’re developing new ways to revolutionize the industry.
Premier is disappointed that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Innovation Center would make such drastic changes to the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Advanced (BPCI Advanced) Model so late in the model timeline. Health systems participating in these models have made significant investments during the first three years of the program to succeed in the model. Requiring participants to take on additional clinical episodes to cover a full-service line by January 1 does not give providers adequate time to establish the necessary processes to redesign care in those areas. Requiring this change while providers are actively responding to the COVID-19 pandemic makes it all the more challenging and ill-advised.
