As of January 1, 2026, CMS’s Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) is live – and for selected hospitals, participation is mandatory. TEAM is more than a reimbursement change. It is a readiness test for value-based care, demanding tighter financial, clinical, and operational coordination.
Unlike voluntary programs such as BPCI Advanced, TEAM requires action now. The first year offers upside rewards with no penalties, but by 2027, downside risk begins. Hospitals without integrated episode-level analytics, real-time quality tracking, and coordinated post-acute strategies will quickly see capabilities gaps exposed.
Join Milliman MedInsight experts for an interactive session exploring TEAM’s early weeks, CMS clarifications, and strategies to strengthen performance before penalties start. We will share how leading hospitals are using TEAM’s ramp-up year to modernize analytics, align care teams, and build a competitive edge for the 2030 value-based future.
In this session, you will learn how to:
- Understand TEAM’s structure, risk tracks, and Composite Quality Score to maximize rewards and avoid penalties.
- Identify high-cost services, providers, and post-acute care variation that erode margins.
- Use TEAM insights to standardize care pathways and strengthen partnerships with ACOs and post-acute providers.
- Apply proven tools, including MedInsight Bundles, to track episodes, benchmark performance, and audit settlements with CMS logic.
Do not miss this opportunity to turn mandatory participation into a strategic advantage, building the capabilities that will define success in CMS’s next generation of bundled and accountable care models.
