Bundled Payments = Risk AND Opportunity
Episode-based payment initiatives, including Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Advanced (BPCI Advanced), the Oncology Care Model (OCM), and the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) Model, represent an exciting opportunity for clinical teams to exercise full control over patient care, unencumbered by limitations or artificial constraints imposed by payers. At the same time, bundled payments put more risk for the cost of care on the provider. Success under these types of Alternative Payment Models (APMs) requires the ability to impact patient behavior, manage quality, and drive down unnecessary utilization. Providers without the right team in place are in a precarious position. Furthermore, trying to address these issues with costly clinical resources has proven to be an unsustainable and incomplete solution.
