CMS Regulatory FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About the CMS TEAM Model

Essential regulatory facts every healthcare executive must know before January 2026.

What is the CMS TEAM Model and why is it mandatory?

The Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) is a mandatory 5-year alternative payment model created by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI). Beginning January 1, 2026, selected acute care hospitals are held financially accountable for the total cost of care and quality across a 30-day episode window for 5 inpatient and outpatient surgical categories.

Which surgical episodes are included in TEAM?

The model covers five core clinical episodes: Lower Extremity Joint Replacement (LEJR), Surgical Hip and Femur Fracture Treatment (SHFFT), Spinal Fusion, Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG), and Major Bowel Procedures.

What happens if a hospital fails to meet the 50% PROM threshold?

Under CMS TEAM quality guidelines, hospitals that fail to achieve at least 50% completion rates for Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) on eligible elective joint replacement patients will incur a mandatory financial quality penalty, reducing reconciliations and increasing downside repayment obligations.

How does SolvEdge assist hospitals in mitigating TEAM downside risk?

SolvEdge integrates AI-powered episodic analytics, automated digital PROM collection (reaching 78%+ compliance), post-acute care narrow network scorecards, and OIG-compliant physician gainsharing models to ensure hospitals consistently beat CMS target prices and protect surgical margins.
