Greetings,
Thank you for your interest in the newest CMS model – Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Advanced (BPCI Advanced). We are excited about the enthusiastic response to our model announcement on January 9, 2018. We continue to receive a high volume of inquiries in the BPCI Advanced inbox and will address most of the more complex inquiries during our Open Forums on January 30, 2018 and February 15, 2018
We now have available on demand a new physician-focused model overview webcast “Conceptual Overview” as well as a physician-focused Frequently Asked Questions document.
We are currently updating the MS – DRGs Exclusion from Clinical Episodes List and a new version will be posted soon.
