Preparing for TEAM: CMS' New Mandatory Bundled Payment Model
Embrace the Power of TEAMwork
The Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) will take effect on Jan. 1, 2026. From diagnosis through recovery, TEAM encourages hospitals to take a holistic, value-driven approach to ensure seamless collaboration across providers and care settings. By focusing on comprehensive, patient-centered care, the new bundled payment model aims to improve quality, minimize readmissions and optimize the patient experience, all while offering financial incentives for achieving better outcomes.
To successfully prepare for TEAM, participating hospitals need to enhance episodic care through data-driven improvement, evaluate their existing care coordination processes and identify cost-saving opportunities. As the 2024 Best in KLAS Award winner for Value-Based Care Consulting, you can trust Premier to help guide your hospital's preparation journey. We understand TEAM. We understand what's required of you. Let's transform care together.
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.

Let Premier Be Your Partner Through Change
