An executive order by the Trump administration has briefly delayed the rollout of the bundled payment model for hip and femur fractures, but will not alter cardiac and orthopedic model launches later this year. Regardless, MedBen Analytics is fully prepared to provide hospitals with actionable data reporting for all new models.

The 60-day freeze on federal rulemaking pushed back the effective date of the Surgical Hip and Femur Fracture Treatment (SHFFT) model from February 18 to March 31. However, the July 1 implementation of the Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) models fall outside the executive order and will not be affected, an HHS spokesman has confirmed.

But whatever the circumstances, MedBen Analytics is ready to move forward. We've taken the advanced reporting portal we created for our Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) clients and expanded it so users of all these bundled payment models can benefit from our useful insights.

If you'd like to see a demonstration of our system or want additional information about MedBen Analytics, please call MedBen President & COO Kurt Harden at 888-633-2364 or email medbenanalytics@medben.com.
