Bundling and Coordinated Post-acute Care
A study of a sample of Medicare fee-for-service claims data investigates the feasibility of alternative approaches to bundling payments for post-acute care services. Structured as a “toolkit,” the Bundling and Coordinating Post-Acute Care (BACPAC) analysis elucidates issues related to the structure, components, and attributes of post-acute care payment bundles (excluding the initial acute care hospitalization) and models the financial impact of various design parameters.
