Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Transforming Episode Accountability Model at qualifying HealthPartners hospitals

The CMS Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) is a new initiative from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) designed to improve care for patients enrolled in traditional Medicare (Parts A & B) who undergo certain surgical procedures at qualifying hospitals. The HealthPartners hospital participants are Lakeview Hospital, Methodist Hospital and Regions Hospital. We are participating in this new program to help ensure high-quality, well-coordinated care.

The program covers five types of surgical procedures:

• Coronary artery bypass graft
• Lower extremity joint replacement
• Small and large bowel procedures
• Spinal fusion
• Surgical hip femur fracture treatment

TEAM collaborators are skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies and physician groups who work together to support your care. At HealthPartners, we continue to grow our team and new partners will be added regularly. Please check back soon to see our list of collaborating doctors, locations and other members of your care team.
