All You Need To Know About The CMS TEAM Model?

Persivia Inc29 May, 2025Health

Hospitals in nearly 200 areas across the country must follow new Medicare payment rules starting in 2026. The CMS TEAM Model isn't optional. If your hospital is in one of these areas, you have to participate. This change affects how Medicare pays for five common surgeries. Instead of paying for each service separately, hospitals get one payment that covers everything from surgery to recovery. The TEAM runs from 2026 to 2030. Hospitals that spend more than their set payment lose money. Those who spend less can keep the savings.
