Preparing for TEAM: CMS' New Mandatory Bundled Payment Model
Embrace the Power of TEAMwork
The Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) launches Jan. 1, 2026 — bringing a mandatory shift toward value-based, episode-focused care. Designed to improve outcomes and reduce costs, TEAM holds hospitals accountable for the full surgical episode, from diagnosis through recovery. Success requires more than compliance — it demands data-driven insights, tight care coordination and proven strategies to optimize quality and reduce readmissions.
Premier's Bundled Payment Collaborative is built to help you get there. As the 2024 Best in KLAS Award winner for Value-Based Care Consulting, we bring deep expertise, powerful analytics and a national network of hospitals preparing for TEAM. We understand what success looks like — and we're ready to help you lead it.
Start with a Checklist
Key steps to successfully prepare for TEAM:
- Identify if your hospital was selected for participation or opt-in voluntarily if you're eligible.
- Determine where there is opportunity to reduce cost for each episode type.
- Consider your partnerships in the community.
- Understand your organization's readiness to participate in bundled payments.
- Invest in data analytics and other technologies to assist in care management, monitor patient outcomes and measure performance.
- Prepare your organization and stakeholders for the model start.
