BPCI Advanced Data Will Be Limited
When we heard that CMS has selected a new data contractor for the BPCI Advanced program, we remain optimistic about the quality of the data that we would receive for this program. Data for the BPCI and CJR programs was relatively complete, containing demographic information about patients (name, medical record number, zip code, etc.), payment components (DRG outlier payments, IMD, DSH, etc.), and other fields describing utilization levels.
