Episode-based payment initiatives such as BPCI Advanced, OCM, and the CJR model represent an exciting opportunity for clinical teams to exercise full control over patient care, but also put more risk for the cost of care on the provider.

Our program has proven results in decreasing unnecessary utilization, improving the financial performance for participants in these bundles.
