Findings Have Implications for Current and Prospective BPCI-A Participants

ANN ARBOR, MICH., / MAY 23, 2019 — The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is accepting applications for the next cohort in its Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Advanced Model now through June 24.

CMS designed the program to encourage broad participation with the intention to reward improvement over time.
