Bundle Design

Bundled payments for episodes of care have proven to be a powerful method for encouraging greater use of high-value health care services and discouraging use of low-value services. Self-insured employers appreciate the predictability of bundled payments because they can budget with greater accuracy.

PBGH develops innovative bundled payment arrangements, approaching these methods as a quality improvement initiative supported by payment reform that can make a measurable difference in patient outcomes and satisfaction.
