Medicare Program; Advancing Care Coordination Through Episode Payment Models (EPMs); Cardiac Rehabilitation Incentive Payment Model; and Changes to the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Model (CJR)
This proposed rule proposes to implement three new Medicare Parts A and B episode payment models under section 1115A of the Social Security Act.

All related care within 90 days of hospital discharge will be included in the episode of care.

This proposed rule also includes several proposed modifications to the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement model.
