The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Innovation Center (CMMI) published a list of urban and rural acute care hospitals located in one of the Core Based Statistical Areas selected for mandatory participation in TEAM, a new episode-based, alternative payment model, in which selected acute care hospitals will coordinate care for people with Traditional Medicare undergoing one of the surgical procedures included in the model and assume responsibility for the cost and quality of care from surgery through the first 30 days after the Medicare beneficiary leaves the hospital. CMS requests that a representative from each hospital on the list complete the online TEAM Primary Point of Contact Identification Form to identify points of contact for TEAM-related communications.
