Bundles

Support bundled payment contracts with accurate data and benchmarks

Healthcare reform demands that organizations prepare for the transition from a fee-for-service (FFS) payment model to value-based reimbursement models. Bundled payment models require providers to take on risk for the services provided within defined episodes of care. They also present opportunities to incentivize care coordination, cost reduction, and quality improvement. To effectively implement bundled payments, organizations must have actionable data to find opportunities, set goals, and manage budgets.

The MedInsight® Bundles application offers organizations participating in bundled payment programs the insights they need to efficiently manage the payment models implemented by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI). These models include Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI), Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR), BPCI Advanced, and Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM). With Bundles, organizations can take advantage of the following capabilities to better meet their quality and financial objectives:
