🎙 In this episode, Eddie Qureshi breaks down what the new CMS TEAM model means for hospitals—and why now is the time to act.
Although the model applies to just five Medicare procedures, those procedures represent more than $3.2 billion in annual spending and nearly 20% of reimbursement for hundreds of hospitals. Hospitals on the mandated list will be responsible for coordinating full episodes of care, even after discharge. The stakes? Up to 20% in potential penalties.
Eddie shares how Rainfall Health is helping hospitals get ahead of the model through education, financial impact analysis, and AI-powered tools that make implementation manageable—no matter the size or structure of the system.Â
