With Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Expanded (CJR-X) proposed to launch October 1, 2027, every eligible acute care hospital in the country is facing a new reality: mandatory bundled payments across a full 90-day episode window for joint replacement procedures. This is part of a broader and accelerating shift — CMS already made bundled payments mandatory for hospitals in roughly a quarter of U.S. markets through the Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM), launched in January 2026. The question isn’t whether your organization will be accountable. It’s whether you’ll be ready when CMS starts the clock.
This webinar will help hospital leaders across finance, strategy, and quality get ahead of both programs — what CJR-X and TEAM will require and what it takes to manage performance under mandatory bundled payments.
What we’ll cover:
- What CJR-X requires and how it differs from prior voluntary bundle programs, including the 90-day episode structure and quality scoring
- Practical use cases for TEAM today and CJR-X readiness ahead of October 2027, including 90-day episode construction, regional benchmark comparisons, and Composite Quality Score tracking
- A live demonstration of turning raw CMS claims data into actionable episode-level insights — from high-level episode mix down to the operating physician
- How risk-adjusted reconciliation modeling built on CMS logic helps you anticipate your financial exposure before CMS calculates it
- A live Q&A with our episode analytics and bundled payment experts
Who should attend:
Hospital CFOs, VP of Finance, Value-Based Care leaders, Quality Officers, and Strategic Planning teams at acute care hospitals subject to CJR-X or TEAM.
Why attend now?
Hospitals that succeed under mandatory bundled payments won’t win on clinical quality alone – they will have a clear, defensible, CMS-aligned view of every episode before reconciliation hits. That visibility takes proactive preparation and analytics you can trust. This session shows you what that looks like in practice and how to start building it today.
