BCBS pilots hip, knee bundled model
Editor's Note
Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) of Michigan is piloting a bundled payment program for hip and knee replacements, the March 27 HealthcareDive reports.
The pilot, which includes 64 surgeons at seven healthcare systems, will use a mix of inpatient and outpatient settings in an effort to reduce the cost of an episode of care by 10%.
This is the first commercial-based bundled payment program, and it signals the industry’s continued interest in value-based care, the report says.
