​Hospitals, physician groups, and health systems interested in participating in BPCI Advanced, the new voluntary bundled payment program from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), can find more information, including the application template and all additional required documents, on the CMS website. IHA General Counsel Tim Kennedy provided an overview of the model's components in a recent webinar (download the PowerPoint slides here). If you have any questions, please contact Kennedy.

Note: The American Hospital Association (AHA) recently recommended that CMS release additional information about BCPI Advanced by March 1 and extend the application deadline into April. AHA noted the "lack of sufficient operational detail about the model" as its primary concern.​​
