Starting January 1, 2026, CMS’s Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) will hold selected hospitals financially responsible for the cost and quality of care across full surgical episodes — from surgery through 30 days post-discharge.
Failing to meet TEAM’s standards could result in 10–15% reductions in Medicare reimbursement. But for hospitals prepared to respond with the right strategy and data, TEAM presents an opportunity to reduce variation, standardize care, and strengthen clinical collaboration.
