United Healthcare expands bundling program for Medicare Advantage patients

May 28, 2019

United Healthcare will offer a bundled payments program for providers caring for Medicare Advantage patients in over 30 states. The program (which will include certain procedures, including hip and knee replacements, spinal fusions and coronary bypasses) builds upon UnitedHealthcare’s existing work with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Advanced (BPCI Advanced) program for fee-for-service Medicare. Integrated into the program, UnitedHealthcare will provide services and support, including care management solutions to help support care from preoperative education to post-acute care. The program also offers patient engagement tools, performance analytics and consulting, and payment administration services.

Gain the Edge

The Surgical Services Division of a hospital is a key financial driver, yielding nearly 70% of annual revenue. Moreover, the OR is also considered one of the hospital’s most challenging departments clinically and operationally.

Forward-thinking Hospital Administrators and Perioperative Leaders are looking for opportunities to improve margins in their organization. These opportunities start with a formal evaluation of historical data that includes a review of surgeon/group block utilization, scheduling accuracy, surgeon satisfaction scores, surgical volume, and patient throughput processes.

Enhance Healthcare Consulting offers customized perioperative assessments and recommendations to make improvements that lead to sustainable changes in the OR. Our approach is designed to meet your hospital’s specific needs.
