Medical and Surgical Episodes Among Hospital Participants in the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement–Advanced Program
In this cohort study analyzing the outcomes of the BPCI-A program for medical and surgical episodes, BPCI-A participation was associated with modestly decreased payments for both medical and surgical episodes compared with nonparticipants. Improvements in clinical outcomes associated with BPCI-A participation were also modest for both types of episodes; this study does not support a hypothesis that either medical or surgical episodes are better-suited for episode-based payments.
