According to a Proposed Rule released on August 10, Medicare's next iteration of voluntary bundled payments will be an Advanced APM in 2018, opening the door for robust participation. The Proposed Rule, if implemented in January 2018, would cancel the Mandatory Cardiac Episode Payment Models and make participation voluntary in the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement model for half of selected Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and for low-volume and rural hospitals.

Medicare Underscores Its Focus on Voluntary Bundled Payment Models
Remedy CEO Carolyn Magill Cites Bundles as a Catalyst for Systemic Change
The spotlight was on bundled payments this week as CMS delayed the mandatory implementation of bundled payment initiatives for cardiac care and the expansion of the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement bundled payment pilot project. The delay, which was consistent with HHS Secretary Tom Price’s known objections to mandatory initiatives, allowed proponents of the Bundled Payment for Care Improvement initiative (BPCI) program, like Remedy Partners CEO Carolyn Magill, to reinforce the program’s success to date.

SNF Readmission and Mortality Risk Versus Discharges to Home
Co-Authored by Steve Wiggins, Brittain Brantley, Mary Dittrich, MD, Marina Burke, NP, Win Whitcomb, MD
Evidence is growing that patients fare comparatively well when choosing to go home after a hospitalization, versus being admitted to a post acute facility. Patients discharged to
their homes have readmission and mortality risk that is equivalent and possibly lower than patients with similar conditions who are discharged to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) or other post acute facilities. Remedy’s own research, as well as studies published by the American Heart Association and the American Journal of Medicine, provides encouraging evidence to support discharges to home for challenging patients.
