# CMS Completes BPCI Advanced Evaluation

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized the evaluation of the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Advanced (BPCI Advanced) Model, which operated from 2018 through 2025. The model achieved approximately $800 million in net Medicare savings primarily by reducing post-acute care costs while maintaining quality outcomes. CMS plans to leverage these results to implement new mandatory bundled payment models such as the Transforming Episodes of Care for Medicare (TEAM) initiative and expand existing programs like the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement-Advanced (CJR-X). These developments present ongoing procurement opportunities for healthcare providers and contractors specializing in value-based care, care coordination, and payment model analytics.

- The evaluation contract (HHSM-500-2014-000331, Task Order 75FCMC18F0089) was led by The Lewin Group as prime contractor, with partners including Abt Global Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), and Telligen.
- Procurement professionals should note CMS's continued emphasis on bundled payment models, signaling demand for services that support care integration, data analytics, and outcome measurement.
- Contractors with expertise in post-acute care management and value-based payment systems may find new opportunities as CMS expands mandatory models like TEAM and CJR-X.
- The evaluation insights highlight the importance of efficient resource utilization and quality maintenance, which are critical factors in upcoming CMS procurement requirements.
