Navigating TEAM: Strategic Positioning for HHAs
April 16, 2026The CMS Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM), Medicare’s mandatory bundled payment model, launched on January 1, 2026, and is aimed at improving care quality and reducing costs by holding acute care hospitals financially accountable for costs and quality across 30-day episodes for five surgical categories. This webinar series session will explore how post-acute care providers—specifically home health agencies (HHAs), inpatient rehabilitation facilities, and skilled nursing facilities—play a strategic role in helping manage TEAM accountability by providing the right level of care in the right place at the right time. This session will focus on new opportunities presented by TEAM for HHAs to become strategic partners with hospitals to enhance quality and financial performance.
Learning Objectives

- Describe TEAM’s episode structure and its impact on HHAs.
- Identify the financial and quality drivers that shape acute provider expectations of HHAs under TEAM.
