Assessing financial effects of removal of TKA from CMS inpatient-only list on physician-owned bundles.
We determined whether Medicare TKAs remained inpatient, versus changed to observational. We used CMS data to determine savings. Direct costs associated with BPCI were calculated.
7/28 TKAs (25.0%) had inpatient status changed to observational, excluding them from BPCI. Estimated savings losses were $24,332. Direct costs for administrating BPCI were $51,250. Had the rate of patients changed to observational been 50%, bundle savings from remaining patients would be less than direct costs.
Removing TKA from CMS inpatient-only list may have negative financial implications.
评估将全膝关节置换术（TKA）从医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（CMS）仅住院治疗列表中移除对医生拥有的捆绑支付模式的财务影响。
我们确定医疗保险的全膝关节置换术是仍为住院治疗，还是改为观察性治疗。我们使用CMS的数据来确定节省的费用。计算了与基于 episode 的综合付费（BPCI）相关的直接成本。
28例全膝关节置换术中的7例（25.0%）住院状态改为观察性治疗，从而被排除在基于 episode 的综合付费之外。估计节省费用损失为24,332美元。管理基于 episode 的综合付费的直接成本为51,250美元。如果改为观察性治疗的患者比例为50%，则剩余患者的捆绑支付节省费用将低于直接成本。
将全膝关节置换术从CMS仅住院治疗列表中移除可能会产生负面的财务影响。
